    congrats, Rob!
    40s go with haiku. That’s what I say.
    Like your chairs.

    Sweet. The world needs more love poems. Great stuff here. Love that Zen wine cabinet. Any wino would be proud to have that in their home. Sad about your son. So sorry. No real words for that…

    Thank you Stacey!

    I agree. :)

    Someday my chairs will have “legs”, and walk into peoples homes — if I’m fortunate.

    To quote Dusty Springfield, “What the world needs now is love…”

    Thank you Alex!

    I hope, in the not too distant future, there will be a Zen in every wino’s home — the ones that can afford it, of course. :)

    Yes, so very sad about my son, but my love for his is quite alive.

    Thank you Tiffany!

    They say the first twenty are the most difficult, but I’ve enjoyed every minute — and my wife is a patient woman. :)
