    Hey Mike, glad to hear things are looking up. Good to hear from you again.

    Sorry to hear of the divorce, Mike. After 44 years, man. I wouldn't even be able to imagine....and I'm only 19 years in with my wife.

    You still dabbling around with different cartridges for the TT?

    Hey Tom, still got my turntable, but not taking much pleasure in it these days with everything going on. Most of my rig is gone and I had to downsize quite a bit. Maybe someday I can rebuild. Pretty much lost everything as a result of this mess.
