Bruce,

Are you still out there, haven't heard anything from you the last 2 weeks. How are you doing my friend?

Etienne

Bruce is probably either on vacation, or busy, busy with work.

Hey Etienne and Mike… I am still here. I have had to have some surgery done the past week and have been out of it for a while. I am doing well and hoping for good news from the doctor.

I appreciate all the friendship of you Cupsters out there.

Best wishes,
Bruce

Bruce,

I wish you all the best and indeed a speedy recovery.
Get well soon my friend.

Etienne

Hey All… I am recovering and went back to work today. The good news is my ailment is not cancerous and I will more than likely not have to have my jaw reconstructed.
I go into round two of the procedures in about a month.

My tip to you and your youngsters is to have your wisdom teeth removed when they are young, not when you are close to 50 years old. Also a fever will turn your copper Cups, my Monti and PF Cups are turning a nice brown (I held them throughout my periods of high fever).

Thanks,
Bruce

Holy Cow, Bruce! I'm glad you're OK!!

Tom

  Bruce, Glad to hear your feeling better!

Wow Bruce, dental pain and dental surgery is the worst! (The only benefit is you ususally lose a couple of pounds in the processes because you can't chew anything) I can't believe that a wisdom tooth problem could lead to potential jaw reconstruction??
Congrats on the "feverish patina" process though, I remember what a problem you had in the past getting a patina on your cups. I won't be recommending this method though.
