The poet Rilke put it well: “Life is not even close to being as logically consistent as our worries; it has Read More …
Well, it’s been almost 20 years in the making but it’s done! The project started as a 50th birthday present for Shirley. Somehow it got derailed many times over the years. I’d build a part of it and then park it away in the corner of the shop. You’d think it would have been completed Read More …
