Vacation & Happy New Year!

Stumpjack Coffee will be closed much of this week - from Monday Dec 29th most likely through Sunday Jan 3rd. We're taking a few days off to recharge the batteries, regroup and make a game plan for 2009. We are in Sturgeon Bay right now and I'm surfing some of my favorite blogs, including Dave Theiss' Working with Chemicals and The L.A. Post blogs. Unfortunately, Dave updates his blogs about as often as I go on vacation. This is unfortunate for all of the many people who religiously follow Dave's blogging, his fans, as it were. Dave is not just a highly skilled printer who puts out an outstanding product, he is also an artist who does some rather creative and visually interesting work, and his fans need to...no, they deserve to see it! This is, of course, an appeal to Dave to update his blog (I need something to read while lying in this hotel room, dangit!). And if he does, I will clothe myself like Michael Palin below and sing the Monty Python Lumberjack Song on the street corner in front of his shop. Thank you all for a very enjoyable and spunky 2008. You guys are truly the absolute best and we are so grateful for all of our friends who come into this joint and support the place.

Happy New Year!
