Trooper,
Here is an update,,,,,,,tugtub is still on the up and up....last month we had about 12K in revenue......the slow economy is not helping....but some people have to have the experience of soaking in 104 degree water while floating in the ocean. I just purchased a 43' sailboat that will be named tugtub....and I may be gone for a few years exploring the far reaches of newport harbor. The microscope company got sold.....and I am now consulting...ha ha....paulwestphd.com. And right now I am sitting in my hotel room in Porto, portugal having a glass of port.
So.......are you still headed to Paris.
