I Turned 48 Today

Howard In Toronto

>Had a great day.

Wrapped up a quarter-million dollar deal with an artisan bakery here in Toronto.

My boss took me to lunch at one of my favourite restaurants that I'm convinced is a front for the Russian Mafia....

Picked up my mother and brought her to my house for dinner.

She got a chance to hang out with my boys and chat with my wife.

Brought her back to her place with no mishaps with her walker and the ice on the fround.

Got the Godfather DVD set as one of my gifts.

(sorry, no LV gift certificates...)

Yep, been a nice day....

Hello Everybody! I figure I've been hanging around WoodCentral for a few years now so I might as well officially post a Bio. I'm Jennifer and I reside in the heart of the Midwest in Indianapolis. You'll usually find me hanging out on the turning side of WoodCentral, but I check the Main forum too. I started woodworking about 25 years ago mostly interested in flatwork; small furniture and other items to use around the home. Then I discovered the lathe and became obsessed with it. I've been turning for about 23 years now. My love and excitement for turning has taken me into the world of teaching and frequent demonstrating. Lots of experimenting with textures, color, burning over the past several years. I've recently begun dabbling in metal clay work and have started incorporating it in to my turnings too. It's another toolbox full of toys! When I'm not turning, I'm hanging out with the love of my life and most honest critic, my husband Clay. In order to keep the lathe spinning and the lights on I spend the other part of my day at an ABC television station directing the evening newscasts.

>Gee Howard,

Is it possible that you were only 8 years old when SWMBO and I got hitched? Hope you are as happy as I am. :<)

>Howard, so glad you had such a great birthday. A few more years and you will be up to my advanced age as long as you stay away from the Russian Mafia. :o) Fred
