We need a Paul Harvey "Rest of the Story" update.....
Wood is very beautiful in tree form. Wood is very useful in burning form. I merely try to make my work honor the first, avoid the latter, and aim for the middle: beautiful and useful.

I hope it was a..."Good...day".
Jeff, you know, I grew up listening to Paul Harvey. Not that I cared one iota to hear him, but my mom always had him on. I wish I could have enjoyed him more.

This reminds me of two things.
First a woman I almost married. She was kind of like this. I think I am a better man and my life has been much more rewarding without her.
Second is a story about a husband and wife sitting around the table one Sunday morning, drinking coffee and reading the paper…
The man sniffles.
The wife asks, "are you OK?"
He says, "yes I am fine."
A few moments later he sniffles again.
She asks, "are you sure you are not coming down with something."
He answers, "I am fine, I was just reminiscing."
She gleefully asks, "Oh, what about?"
He quietly says, "Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car and pointed his shot gun at me and said, 'young man either you are going to marry my daughter or you are going to spend the next ten years in prison.'"
She chuckles and says, "Oh yeah, I remember daddy doing that."
He lowers his paper, tears are welling up in his eyes and starting to roll down his cheeks as he says, "I would have gotten out today."
