I posted some photos of a few small woodworking projects I’ve turned out recently, including this spoon and spatula I made as a wedding gift for Mark & Lina

Dina and I were out in Montana this past weekend to celebrate their nuptials, and we really enjoyed our time near Big Sky. It certainly helped that we were surrounded by a bevvy of great people, but the setting didn’t hurt, either. We were pretty far out into the middle of nowhere, in the Gallatin Canyon with no cell phone reception but a very clear night sky. In a magical moment Saturday evening, we walked out of the party venue to see the Milky Way stretching across the sky. Somebody said “Wouldn’t it be great to see a shooting star,” and not two minutes later, as we all gaped at the stars, the biggest, brightest meteor I’ve ever seen streaked down towards the horizon for a few seconds before fracturing into pieces and fading away.
