Hello! Greetings from the Haven, it's midsummer already and I realized I haven't been on here since before the Axpona show in April. Not intentionally, mind you, just been a very busy spring and early summer. To catch you up to speed, Axpona was fun as always. Our room was very good, perhaps not quite as exciting to me as the first year with the Falcon LS3/5a's, yet so many unsolicited compliments, so we were pleased. There have been even more deliveries than usual to the Haven this quarter, as I keep saying no no no to vendors, and my own impulses, yet everything is heading exactly where I want the business to go, so stay tuned for many product photos and me blabbing hysterically about the greatness of something. Hey, if I'm not pom-poming about something, then you know it didn't make the grade. The weather, of course, has been another matter entirely, what with wacky amounts of rain and some pretty heavy hitting storms. And of course something new to me, buffalo gnats. If they've been around before, they must have been very small in number for me and Gertie to notice. This year, they became public enemy number one, even worse than an audiophile who wants to hear more cymbal. These buffalo gnats are the worst parts of a horsefly, a biting black fly before the rain, the new Asian tiger mosquito (the ones you can hear coming before they land on you), and a deer fly, all in one. I have never cussed and screamed in the gardens as much as I have this year, so much so my neighbor Norma heard me from way across the way and told my mother she never knew Charlie had such a mouth. Thankfully once the heat came they left, I hope for good. So now it's just back to swatting mosquitos and biting flies, and an occasional audiophile, and thinking of hifi.
I always feel like I live on the Serengeti when the weather does this....
