When last we spoke, lo these many months ago, it was on the subject of repairing an old dining chair. Hardly the most creative project I’ve ever done, and one that probably ate up more time than it was worth — I’m sure I could‘ve replaced the chair outright for a few dollars used, and been done with it. Which would have been a fine outcome for the chair situation, since it is no longer a dining chair, but sits in the basement and is used for doing laundry. Nevertheless, the time and expense of these projects are almost never the point — the project itself is the point. So was the chair.
I assure you I haven’t been idle since then, and have been busy with all manner of things. There’s the day job, of course, but also coaching with a high school mock trial team. Then, college hockey season took up a lot of time.
Somewhere in there I did find some time to work on some project or another, if only in fits and starts. So, what’ve I been doing?
