Cuz – I can. I’m on vacation. No – we’re not going anywhere. But I’m taking a much-needed break from (ER) work… We’ve had a beautiful SUN day. DH shared his plans to build a deck on the pond … My dad has a birthday coming up … 71 years young. So, I made a …
It turns out, you can’t play with your torch if your OXYGEN tank is empty … Nope! Doesn’t matter how much of that glass glob you place into your ‘hottest flame’ … This is what you get … And now, I am waiting on my (new) O2 tank arrival(!); Meanwhile murrini is on hold!!! But …
… I think(!) … Maybe … Yes!!! I’ve been wanting to play with the torch and making my own murrini for a while now. I’m just about ready … So – this is it! … … AFTER physical therapy! [Arrrgghh! – my arm is already ACHING!] But, I can do this. And – I have …
Cooped-up, grateful, somber and reflective (… as we roll into the New Year with it’s mandatory RESOLUTIONS) = TOO MUCH TIME ON MY HANDS! I just watched an interesting piece on millennials.

or is that SPIRITS??? (We’ll get to that…) I’m happy. I’m gathering up small projects/music to keep myself occupied while I work the art shop tomorrow. Come join me from 12n-8p … I’ll have Pentatonix rockin’ on my MP3 player for some a cappella Christmas cheer (thanks L.T!!) Back to spirits … I’ve been putting all …
Brings about the end of another week … but a good week. A few things from the studio: New slumped bottle, “Cocktail”; more boiled blanks – I’m still working out the tweaks, but I like them, while slowly building up to a load (for the coffin) of [eventual] bowls and what not; and I tried my …
‘Round and ‘round we go … [Warning – philosophical, WORDY post!] I hate it when I get mad at work. Aarrrggh, WHY?!? Anger is (almost) always a wasted emotion.
