John looked up the hill to where his Dad was putting the finishing touches on this year's Halloween display. John had moved on to other interests and was not helping this year. Halloween decorations were childish, and he didn't understand why his parents paid so much attention to this year's decorations.
Rational
Contrary to popular beliefs, sailors are not superstitious.
Marked
In its life, the little brick building had been a railroad property, an office for a lumberyard, and now served as my combination residence and carving studio.
A Good Night
Although Christmas was beloved by the residents of the Folkie Palace, Halloween was revered.
The Great Old Ones
The chalk and crayon marking the plain maple surface might resemble a compass to the uninitiated, but it was supposed to be a means of focusing our psychic energy.
Saving the Art
I saw the result yesterday of a job I had deeply desired fifteen years ago. It was a masterly success for the producer/director.
In the field
Suave, elegant, cultured; that's never been me, but thanks for implying it.
Cruise
What my wife does know won't hurt her. What she does know is that as my father before me, all a pretty vessel needs to do is whistle, and I'll pack a cruise bag.
Spoons need a bit of tenderness too
Every shop project has at least one process you hate. When I'm making spoons, it's the finishing.
Prime
I'm no stranger to chilling episodes. When I was younger, it was adventures on the road, stops not entirely on the maps, or friends who led me astray. In short, it was interesting, but I came to feel the need for the less adventurous.
