They are very long pieces of wood. And I worked out all of the splinters with 60- and 100-grit paper. Which means I only have to take eight pieces of wood, large pieces of wood, through grist 150, 220 and 400, so I can finally stop sanding wood. <\/p>\n<p>But! Progress! That funny feeling of progress! Vibrating through the entirety of the upper body! There&#8217;s just no bettering that. Or is it just the remnants from the orbital sander? Probably it&#8217;s that. <\/p>\n<p>But progress!<\/p>\n<p>Also, I&#8217;m experimenting with making pocket squares. Measure twice, cut and trim your way with bad scissors into something resembling a square shape for all of eternity! You could sew these, but I don&#8217;t have a sewing machine. I found some nice hem tape, though, and you iron it into place to save the day. Also, I had to learn the hard way that hem tape is double-sided and you have to remove the covering first. If you don&#8217;t learn something, you don&#8217;t leave any room to laugh at yourself. Anyway, I&#8217;m now a costume designer, or something:<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/oct20\/oct60.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll notice I&#8217;m not wearing any of those today.

There was a question mark on the end of it. He thought I was his professor. I am not. Imagine there&#8217;s another guy around here that has to look like this. <\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/blog\/banners\/bannerarbutus.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Anyway, autumn! It was a beautiful day and I indulged in taking seven whole minutes outside in it. <\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/oct20\/oct62.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>I am a party animal. A wild man, in my mask and pocket square, which clashes with my lapel pin.
