What happened?
You wake up
You discover your life isn't going how you wish. Too many years self pity.
Now, now is the time to change. You have a reason and a need to.
So as you work, the question remains:
Will you fade away on this as you have before?

Gino my eldest son sent us a email that came from his children’s school this morning, informing the parents of year 1 and reception that it has come to their attention that they have forgotten important English lessons last term so they are cancelling the Easter holidays and they need to return to school today. The email is waiting for the children at breakfast with their school uniforms neatly stacked. The funniest thing is his wife Siobhan has just told him that Hamish is in year 2 :-)
Here’s a photo from my New Years eve trip to the woods where I caught one of my only glimpses of winter, is the weather going to fool us all and bring winter back this weekend?

The sun came out briefly after a fairly heavy rain and all of the rocks on the beach, and the wavelets on the bay, were glinting silver, like a multitude of mirrors. Again, a wee boat, way in the distance.

So take the gold you find
And for your own sake hold it in your hand
Now make sure you bite down
And watch your tooth
don't break on that wedding band
For me it ain't real, it's fools gold
Trying out a stamp on a piece of scrap wood that I've used to test stains in the past. Seeing if a stamp will apply the logo well enough. Both of these were over-inked and neither of them had enough ink/paint to make a logo on wood that wasn't transparent. The method of leaving an image for a stamp is to apply pressure directly on the ink/paint and in the case of wood it just squishes the paint out of the way and leaves it thin. Too thin.
Failure is good, though. I never move forward without multiple failures along the way. Just another lesson learned. And this will make a groovy stamp for correspondence and packages.
I had originally planned to use a custom branding iron, but the price on top of all the guitars I've ordered is just more than I can front right now. We'll see.

Day 92:
April Fools' Day.
Sometimes called All Fools' Day, is one of the most light-hearted days of the year. Its origins are uncertain. Some see it as a celebration related to the turn of the seasons, while others believe it stems from the adoption of a new calendar.
New Year's Day Moves
Ancient cultures, including those of the Romans and Hindus, celebrated New Year's Day on or around April 1. It closely follows the vernal equinox (March 20th or March 21st.) In medieval times, much of Europe celebrated March 25, the Feast of Annunciation, as the beginning of the new year.
In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII ordered a new calendar (the Gregorian Calendar) to replace the old Julian Calendar. The new calendar called for New Year's Day to be celebrated Jan. 1. That year, France adopted the reformed calendar and shifted New Year's day to Jan. 1. According to a popular explanation, many people either refused to accept the new date, or did not learn about it, and continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April 1. Other people began to make fun of these traditionalists, sending them on "fool's errands" or trying to trick them into believing something false. Eventually, the practice spread throughout Europe.
Problems With This Explanation
There are at least two difficulties with this explanation. The first is that it doesn't fully account for the spread of April Fools' Day to other European countries. The Gregorian calendar was not adopted by England until 1752, for example, but April Fools' Day was already well established there by that point. The second is that we have no direct historical evidence for this explanation, only conjecture, and that conjecture appears to have been made more recently.
Constantine and Kugel
Another explanation of the origins of April Fools' Day was provided by Joseph Boskin, a professor of history at Boston University. He explained that the practice began during the reign of Constantine, when a group of court jesters and fools told the Roman emperor that they could do a better job of running the empire. Constantine, amused, allowed a jester named Kugel to be king for one day. Kugel passed an edict calling for absurdity on that day, and the custom became an annual event.
"In a way," explained Prof. Boskin, "it was a very serious day. In those times fools were really wise men. It was the role of jesters to put things in perspective with humor."
This explanation was brought to the public's attention in an Associated Press article printed by many newspapers in 1983. There was only one catch: Boskin made the whole thing up. It took a couple of weeks for the AP to realize that they'd been victims of an April Fools' joke themselves.
Spring Fever
It is worth noting that many different cultures have had days of foolishness around the start of April, give or take a couple of weeks. The Romans had a festival named Hilaria on March 25, rejoicing in the resurrection of Attis. The Hindu calendar has Holi, and the Jewish calendar has Purim. Perhaps there's something about the time of year, with its turn from winter to spring, that lends itself to lighthearted celebrations.
Observances Around the World
April Fools' Day is observed throughout the Western world. Practices include sending someone on a "fool's errand," looking for things that don't exist; playing pranks; and trying to get people to believe ridiculous things.
The French call April 1 Poisson d'Avril, or "April Fish." French children sometimes tape a picture of a fish on the back of their schoolmates, crying "Poisson d'Avril" when the prank is discovered.

couldn't resist this guy. he spoke the international language of whistle and was very persistant.
too bad the lighting wasn't quite right. the whistle, mouth and face are nice and sharp and his horns fade. if only the lighting had been good (or i knew how to work with it).

Fool me.
You can't.
You, I can.
You might have the energy.
But I, I have patience.
Believe you me.
I can outlast you.
Any time, anywhere.
Tick tock.
So
Fool me.
