Hey, Jack. Well, I'm bummed, too, for all the reasons you state. On
the bright side, the guy who sharpens the knives told me (I was there a
week ago) that when the doors close, he's taking his sharpening gear
with him and setting up shop somewhere else -- but he didn't know where
that would be when we spoke. He said to call back near the end of April
to find out where he's going to be. That's hopeful, I think. No?
