Isn't it weird...

when people you have known for a long time have babies? My good friend from TKD and fellow blackbelt, Terri, had a baby boy 2 month ago. His name is John, but can only call him John Boy. It's hard to get my head around the whole thing. This tough little scrapper that I used to kick the shit out of (she kicked the shit out of me too) HAD A BABY. Wow.
Congratulations Tom and Terri!!!

Two happy campers!

Friday the 13th - Spooky!

Working at WRIGHT

Sawdust flies as Harry, Martino's assistant, works on a chair. Pieces were put on the floor (and web) and sold on the spot.


If you view HERE you can see my freshly upholstered chair and a poster from the Gamper show, both fun souvenirs from my days at WRIGHT

Truck Bay Party

The Jefferson Bros.

Here are the Jefferson brothers, looking over the fresh work by Martino, just before WRIGHT's party for him.
Guest appearance by Hans. Also see THIS.

I got laid off!

This is a photo of the parking lot entrance for WRIGHT. We had set up some old chairs and tables to eat lunch outside. Martino Gamper was there making furniture in our truck bay from our "trash".
