Peter Lederman in Second Bout With COVID-19

@retipper 

I am extremely tired, and came to work today for 2 hours to deal with emergencies" from being closed, and already looking for a large piece of bubble wrap to lie down on. We will see. No idea how much time it will take for clots and Covid residue to resolve. The pile of work here for me is huge.

Mr. Ledermann, 

For heaven sakes, you have just survived "full on hand-to hand combat" with one of the nastiest, devious and deadliest enemies the world knows.  You are not 30 yrs old; and even if you were, your body is still going to need some time to recover from this brutal ordeal. 

Your passion and commitment to your customers and your work is breath-taking, but for God's sake, please give yourself a break.  Be nice to yourself, take care of yourself, take this very small steps at a time or you risk becoming your own worst enemy.  The work and your customers can wait just a bit longer for the 'sage' to fully return; lean on your staff for support.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery - but please - small steps,

Neil

PS/I have 3 of your cartridges with one back for rebuild (Carmen) - no rush; another (Paua) later this year, and I just snagged a NOS Boheme and yes as your said - it punches way above its price point.  I want you to be around for a long time LOL - I like your product and above all else I admire and respect you as a human being.

aj523,

Thanks for the link. I was going by current rules in Israel which. mostly, seem to be on the level that some places in the U.S.A. have been on from many months ago. Israel seems to have had much stricter rules prior to that so it is a relative loosening, but to levels still much stricter than 2019. Just like everyone else, I am waiting to see how their experiment will turn out to be, once they loosen it up to 2019 level.

Mr. Ledermann,

Your few posts might have done more for sobering up on this website than a number of CDC, FDA, and whatever else links over the last year. Thank you for that.

Just remember, slow and steady wins the race. It is much easier to trip when running, Take it easy and slow.

Unheard, Unseen

 

It’s when silence stalks the frozen wood

when the quiet repose of spring’s fertile hush

consumed by the rhythm of neighborhood  

dreams breathing feel of summer’s blush

 

it’s when the forest speaks so loud

I can’t help but weep the promise heard

when the wedded sense of all endowed

silence sweeps me through its every word

 

how present in absence, how the vacuum’s abhorred

how everything remains so fascinating

drags us away from ourselves so bored

to steal us from earth slowly rotating

 

it’s the wrong sense, lost time quickly ticking

heard too loud till worth’s undone

held too tightly smartly unwitting

itself now blind to the midnight sun

 

So I pray I not grow deaf and old

That my heart will forever long to feel

That my eyes not deceived by some fool’s gold

That what’s invisible speaks truly what is so real

 

Filled with life ever abounding

(always reborn)

Unspoken truth

(death’s not a dream)

The heart apart remains forlorn

When it loses hold

(of the hand of the unseen
