Hi.  I thought of taking on a brand new name and identity, but it's such fun to see old familiar names.

Two years ago I had a party at home, invited "everyone," had to clean house, it all went into the garage even though I swore I'd never do that. Which blocked access to the glass shop.  And I haven't cleaned it up yet but I did make a path thru it all.

Doing glass feeds me life, I have to get back into it. 

First – new soldering iron; I made a wedding gift just before the party, flew off to the wedding, got home two weeks later – do you know what a solderimg iron looks like plugged in with the rheostat on high for two weeks?  Why couldn't it have been my weller 80 instead of the 456?  Trying to remember what flux I like best.  Got invited to a (small, unjuried) art show, they want original art, got two weeks to design and make something.  I can do it, thanks to the astonishing help from the SF bunch who put up with my utter ignorance several years and taught me everything I know.
