Sewing in the Floor

I was doing so well.  I had posts done ahead of time, they came out on time, I was happy.  Then, Megan bought me a wedding present.  She got me a Kindle.  This deserved it’s own post, it’s own long & thought out post, coupled with a reading update.  The trouble?  Well, that requires me actually spending time and sitting down and writing unlike just linking videos.

For those who don’t know, I’m getting married in just over a week.  Between preparations for that and being backed up at work and the other work, I’ve not been able to gather the time/motivation to sit down and do it.  This week is no different.  My big happy post is still pending.

So in the interim, here’s more cool linkage and vidage.

Emily, my brother’s girl, works @ a sailmaker.  I knew this and thought it was roughly cool but it was just that vague understanding that you have of other folk’s jobs that you can’t possible envision since you have no corollary experience.  Apparently, she works in a freaking cool place.  So cool, that a local newspaper did an article on the place.  So cool, that the local Fox station did a three segment piece on it.

This may well be the only cool thing I’ve ever seen on Fox.

This is a copy of the AP article.  Don’t figure that’s the original source but I didn’t know the paper and that’s what Google gave me ;-)

Here are the three vids of the place.  Emily’s in the second two but they’re a great piece even if you don’t know her (and thus care about seeing someone you know on TV).

<the vids were supposed to embed here but wordpress didn’t like them because they came from Fox and not a ’supported’ site and I didn’t want to pony up $60 for an upgrade>

So .. check them out nicely embedded @ the Scott Alan Sailmakers website.

Much coolness M.
