Glad to see you're still blogging, Howard.
How has life been treating you?
Oh, you know, living precariously close to the edge, wondering whether the middle class was purely a 20th century phenomenon, learning the truth here in the Rust Belt of that sage saying of Chief Crazy Horse: Iron Oxide never sleeps. You know, living the American Dream, my friend. Are you having any better luck trying to throw a line off this pale blue dot?

We're still around so that's got to count for something. Incremental steps will get us there but man it's slow. Be nice to fast-forward and see how it all turns out (smile).
howard, just wanted to give you a ray of hope - we actually created our first nanotubes in our own furnace a few months ago. its not big news, because there are about 1000 labs that can do the same thing. the difference of course, is that these are OURS! :-) so just hang in there, i think we have some interesting things to talk about, very very soon.
if you get a moment, give me a ring on my cell. or email me, if you dont have the number anymore. take care. mjl
