As the Wood Turns

I spent the day with award-winning wood turner Ken Hager yesterday.  Candice and I have been looking at different artisan opportunities for several craftsmen in Uganda, and Ken offered a tour of his work and workshop.  Ken and his wife Jean (an award-winning author of more than 60 books) encouraged us as we pursue community development in Uganda. One of my new life goals is to be as cool as the Hagers.  I have years work ahead of me before my CV and life experience looks anywhere near as exciting as this wonderful couple.  It looks like I just took on another expensive hobby as well.  Anyone wanna donate a wood lathe to well-intentioned 27-year-old?
