Anecdote: woodworking thought for the day
Here's a story to relieve some stress from the day:
So here I am at Borders taking back some Christmas presents and spending 2 hours in the wood working section trying to figure out what I need. Thought about Taunton's encyclopedias but at $40 a piece I would only be able to get one book. So I bought "How to price woodworking--something or other" and headed up to the magazines. Wouldn't you know it--it must be router month or something. Every single one of them had a router on the cover or how to build yet another bigger better router table or a how to on router buying. So I looked through those for an hour trying to get the most bang for the buck and picked up the latest Shopnotes a couple of times only to set it down. I left with two different woodworking magazines (not Shopnotes) and went home. I checked the mail on the way up and wouldn't you know it--Shopnotes sent me their latest copy with a here's one on us type deal wanting me to subscribe. Cheers to the mail marketing guys over at Shopnotes, the subscription card goes out tomorrow -Matt |

I'd have probably brought ShopNotes home only to find the free one in the mail. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ If you're gonna be dumb, you better be tough +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
