  Hi Micheal...wanted to thank you for the recommendation of the Mechanic Shoppe....they did right by us and got the truck fixed even though it turned out to be more complicated than expected. Made it up to Casper tonight and then onto Jackson Hole tomorrow :) Pauline and Brian

  Thanks, Mike!  I still chuckle when I think about it... Appreciate it!

  Hi, Michael!  Quick question... I'm writing a blog article about crazy things said at art shows and I'd love to use your example of being asked if you had any photographs of Jesus... One of my favorites!  Let me know... I'd rather make sure sharing stories outside of the AFI forum is ok with you!  Thanks!

  Hi, Michael!  I was looking through booth info from the Deerfield Festival of the Arts and noticed you were listed as well!  Hopefully our paths will cross during the weekend and if nothing else, I'd like to shake your hand for all your helpful advice!  See you in a few weeks!

  Michael, I'm surprised to hear about your problem with the FL dept. of Rev.  I pay sales taxes in about a dozen states and I find all of them give adiquit time to file a return.  I live in Florida and all my due dates are the 20th. of the month following the month in question.  I live in Michigan for 5 months a year and have until February 28 to file with them.  Something is wrong if your due date is Jan, 1 for an anual FL sales Tax return for the previous year.  For one thing, you could still be doing a show over the New Year's Eve weekend, as I did in Naples this year.  And, I'm sure you know by now, that those $50 fines are easily redressed with a letter of explanation (no fun, I Know).  I used to be fined $50 a month by New York on a monthly basis because they wouln't send the forms to me.  I finally closed the account and if I want to go back there I'll open it again.  If I were you, I would close my FL sales tax liecense and then sign up again when you need it.  I think you'd be given the right amount time to file.

  Hi Mike,
  re Irish music guy: I did a craft guild show in the basement of a community center in Little Rock a couple years ago. The guy across from us was supposedly selling his hand made hammer dulcimers, but what he was really selling were CDs of his playing christmas carols on the dulcimer. I haven't been the same since....
