They didn't go belly up.

I seem to remember the publisher writing a goodbye column, where he mentioned selling the magazine to another publisher.

Just recently saw an ad about the next issue. I'd expect it will be back in full production soon.

Andy,

Woodwork is my favorite wood mag. I hope we don't see too many changes.

Are you still kayaking?

Nope, I have sciatica and a back problem, which gets aggravated by the kayak sitting position. I still like canoeing though, when I get the chance.

I could never kayak for very long without back pain. I would like to build a more comfortable boat some day. I did have an 18' double kayak that had an open deck design that was pretty nice to paddle as a single.

Have you ever paddled Patagonia lake? Worth while?
