I'm from a small town, 139 people if that. I had to look within to entertain, because there was nothing much to do without driving a few miles. So I started a collection of VHS movies that would get me through the 3 channel era of my small town. This is what gave me my love for movies no doubt. I was (and still am when meeting someone the first time) the quiet guy, never saying much. I usually won't shut up when I get to know you.

Bow Art

I did some ink artwork on a John Marriott custom bow a while back, and the same customer wants two more now. Sounds good to me! Always nice to have work! :) The customer in Kentucky that I did flute engraving for said that there would be more work for me as well so that sounds promising.
Allergies seem to be wreaking havoc for me the last couple weeks.
The new dates for the Bahama Trip have been confirmed, and I'm looking forward to getting away from the day job for awhile. I've been floating again at the shop and it's very hard for me to sit and watch a machine run, got to be doing something otherwise I fall asleep.
Nothing new really, except happy bithday to me tomorrow! :)

Bahama Trip

Bahamas Trip
Well in March my sis and I were supposed to go on a cruise to the Bahamas. This was a trip my sister won in a drawing. Well, we got to the airport and we were getting all excited about our trip, and they canceled the flight because of weather in Texas. We hung around for awhile tried a few ideas, but in the end, there was just no way we were going to make it to Florida in time for the boat.
So I returned to work the day after, feeling pretty bummed that I should be on a sunny beach.
So now we are trying again in May, providing the agent gets us lined up.
So here's to second chances! :)
