Robyn, good to hear from you. This is Jay, by the way, at least I play him here on the forum.
To address your questions, point by point:
I am out here. Or down here, from the perspective of an Ontarion. Here is North Carolina, which was warm, but is now cold again. All of this is relative, of course, depending upon what one is used to. I like heat. Warmth is good.
What do I have to offer? Well, now, that is a good question. Suffice it to say all I have to offer is my sparkling wit and dazzling repartee'. And my profound modesty. And gratitude for every day that I wake up and know that if I want to, I can saw wood. Hoorah for trees and saws.
I was joshing about the food thing - I usually don't eat more than a slice or two of bacon a week. A couple of eggs here and there, lots of rice, some potatoes, cornbread, you know, the usual. Oh yeah, waffles - jes loves my waffles... And a cup of tea, you know, pip pip, carry on...
As for spouses, number thereof, my brother was on his fourth wife when he died. Oops, that doesn't sound right. He was just a marryin' (and divorcin') kind of guy. I have only been married once, and g*d willing, that will be that. As the old divorce humor goes - I miss my ex-wife, but my aim's gettin' better! Not that I am bitter, mind you, but the next time I think about gettin' married I'm gonna find some woman I can't stand, buy her a house, and save myself all the misery in between. Oh wait, I am bitter. That's right... ;^)
Truly, I am grateful to be able to work with trees and wood and power tools, and breathe fresh air, and breathe lots of dust and 2 stroke exhaust and drag home more interesting bits of trees and saw 'em up and find out what's in the middle. I am never bored with that - it is always a joy to discover the history of a tree written in wood. Good stuff...
Now, back to our regularly scheduled thread...
