Well, you want to start out with somebody a whole lot better 
looking than me, that's for darn sure...

That's the way I see it, alas. 

Machining is becoming a lost art and all the practitioners 
(the ones with magic in their fingertips from a lifetime of 
experience) are headed for that big swarf pile in the sky. 
We have few young turks to replace 'em and very few of 
those were showing off their wares; some of 'em were in the 
EMC booth, eh?

On the other paw, until you become an Olde Farte, you don't 
have enough time to play with this stuff, sooo maybe that's 
some of it, too.

It's performance art, that's for sure... 

I don't have any numbers, but the show seemed only slightly 
smaller than last year and plenty of folks were walking 
around sight-see-ing. The tables were pretty much 
end-to-end throughout the whole arena, with not many empty 
spaces on top.

Sherline was conspicuous by their absence. The good folks at 
Village Press said they did enough biz to justify the trip, 
which is excellent news. Plenty of vendors around the edges 
seemed to be doing decent biz, too.

A good time was, methinks, had by all...
