Tony Miller will become famous soon enough
Default Well Shaved Gentleman, Break

I am going to need to take a small break away from the business for a short while. My wife's Father was just diagnosed with some very serious health issues and Lorrie is going to need my help and support right now. Family always comes first here so I may not be very responsive to e-mails, etc... for the next week while we sort this news out.

I do have some things nearing completion and Kim my helper is going to finish assembly on the current batch of Artisans so I can have some product for next week. Things will be hit and miss right now on the storefront so please understand if I don't get back to you right away.

This is not quite the weeks pans I laid out on my storefront just this morning but it serves as a good reminder how quickly our lives can change and how we are not the ones in control. if you have time today or tomorrow call your own Dad and enjoy some special time with him now.

Thank you,
Tony and Lorrie Miller

Thank you all for your support and well wishes. It is too early in the process to know where this is headed but for know I am just slowing things down a bit so I am available for my wife and her family instead of laboring away in the shop.

The strop business is just a sideline after a full day so it is the one area I can more easily steal time from. I will have some stuff up again in a day or so thanks to my helper Kim but just need to limit what I am doing for a little while so do not want to commit to any particular products.

It is very touching how this group feels like a family. Where else could a business owner go and share his personal trials and have such caring responses. In most places people tend to keep their struggles to themselves but here I feel I can share and because everyone is always so supportive it made me offer the explanation I did instead of just saying I'll be closed or cutting back a while. While we may keep our lives separate from the world, we do tend to share with our friends.

Thanks again,
Tony
