Thank you for checking in.

I hope things are well for you. I know several of you are carrying a heavy load. I think of you. I say a prayer. I think of you. I wish I could correct this world. It’s a mess.

But then, if you watch a Nat Geo Special, you see that nature doesn’t treat nature very well either. “Tonight’s Special is same as last night’s Special - Animals eating each other”. And, if you are ever down on modern culture, don’t ever watch a Special on the Mayan or Aztec people. Eewwwww.

I’ve been making family Christmas gifts. And doing some bench carving of steel dies. The back has been quite achy again. I had a break of about two weeks.

Every evening, as I’m closing, I think of the things I wish I could be doing. But you play the cards you are dealt. If you sneak a few cards up your sleeve, they better be from the same Company and Color (and not already on the table). As a young man, I laid down 6 Aces. And the response was ... poor. So; since then I just take my meds and make what I’m able to make. You know, one day that bird house I made right before I left, will have unique appeal. So don’t pass up the small stuff.

Thanks. Be Careful.
Enjoy what you can
Gary
