My Latest Drop-Point Hunter



Here is a new drop-point hunting knife I made. It was fun to do, and the Ziricote wood for the handle is really cool stuff. I saw a lot of it when I went to Belize - there were craftsmen there making all kinds of things out of it. Instead of buying their carvings, though, I bought a chunk of wood! (why not?)

Today's Thoughts/T-Shirts

- If only you can prevent forest fires, you must have a really big bucket.

- I am not an organ donor - all those pipes and keys, who has the space to own one let alone go around donating them?

- If they suddenly removed alcohol from wine, would anyone REALLY care about it's "bouquet"?

- By today's standards, Marie Antoinette would have smelled.

- If you can't make fun of yourself, you will end up being the old person that constantly complains

T-Shirts:

- Black-Belt in Nail-Clippers

- There May-or-May-Not Be Six-Pack Abs Under Here

- Force Feed Fashion Models!

- Right Now, I Am Imagining You Wearing An Fully-Powdered English Judge's Wig

I'm a Lawyer this Week! Well, sort of....

That's right, kids, I am acting again. This week the ShenanArts production of (insert dramatic music) "To Kill a Mockingbird" opens, and I am playing Mr. Gilmor, the prosecuting attorney.
The cast has been great, and it has been a lot of fun so far. Things seem to be coming together - no one has injured themselves in a tragic make-up accident or had a prop-flower suddenly explode, so that is good. I am excited, and here is a picture of Phil during rehearsal playing the legendary "Boo Radley":


Here is "Mr. Ewell" threatening Atticus. And the knife? You guessed it, I made it!:
