Duty Calls

Well, apparently Joe didn't act drooly or bigoted enough at jury selection. He is now on his way to central Wisconsin for up to four weeks without tv, internet, cell phone, or his darling wife and oversized poodle. Fortunately he has lots of experience living in a hotel room, so that shouldn't be such a change (although we don't have a bailiff here at the Dairyland listening in to our phone calls and watching us do our laundry and eat and exercise.)

Aside from missing him (and those of you who work closely every day in a studio or on a building project with your significant other can imagine how much together-time we have!) all the things I'll have to do myself are slowly hitting me. I can't lift the lid of the test kiln on or off alone, I can't get the sliding barn door closed, I can't bring myself lunch at work when I forget it at home, I can't push my own car out of the driveway when I get stuck in a snowbank...Thank goodness for friends! (Keep your cell phones on, y'all!)
