Looks like I might have to retire this domain (Badger.cx and Dragonfly.cx) which makes me very sad actually.  I’ve had it for years!!  But it looks like it’s going away, just like the island is (Globar Warming is eroding the island, and it’s slowly sinking…)

The thought of changing my online identity is kind of painful though, It’s quite a part of my life now.  To change my email in all those places on line seems almost impossible, I mean I doubt I will  be able to remember half of the accounts I’ve created…

We’ll probably move to one of our other domains such at http://roullett.org and set up redirects for as long as they last…

I’ll have to update my contact list once I decide what my new email is going to be…  I’ll be sure to let everyone know as soon as we figure it out.

VC’s Top Ten Tips for Wives of Woodworkers

1. Sitting in the shop and staring at a pile of lumber counts as woodworking.

2. When your spouse says, “Don’t buy that armoire—I can build one for you,” just smile and say “Great!” Then go back to the store in a month and buy it. Because he’s either forgotten all about it or has been feeling guilty for not having started the project, and you will be letting him off the hook.
3. Sometimes your husband will buy wood just because it’s pretty and he has no idea what he plans to do with it.
4. Expect a Sammy Sadface when you hand him a Honey-Do list.
5. Yes, he does need 5 routers. And 6 marking gauges.
6. Heaping mounds of partially- or un-read woodworking magazines are a fact of life.
7. Never ever EVER remove anything from the shop unless under close supervision. No, not even a screwdriver.
8. It takes exactly 3 weeks to make a small trinket box.
9. Plan a shopping trip, go for a walk, meet friends for coffee—just get somewhere safe—if he’s getting ready to glue up a project.
10. What might look like a junky old tool at a flea market is really a monumental find and source of joy for him. Harness that happiness. Now’s a good time to ask him to take you to dinner.
