Comments on: Fingers in the Pie http://www.frenzieddaddy.com/static/archives/2006/04/09/fingers-in-the-pie/ It is in the compelling zest of high adventure and of victory, and in creative action, that man finds his supreme joys. --- Antoine de Saint-Exupery Fri, 21 Nov 2008 23:53:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7-beta1-9513 hourly 1 By: Linda Amar http://www.frenzieddaddy.com/static/archives/2006/04/09/fingers-in-the-pie/comment-page-1/#comment-1834 Linda Amar Mon, 10 Apr 2006 17:26:29 +0000 http://www.frenzieddaddy.com/static/archives/2006/04/09/fingers-in-the-pie/#comment-1834 "Fingers were made before . . ." And they do still work better than lots of tools. I do this. I thought it was a "girl thing." You know, not knowing which tool to use, so using the ones closest to hand, so to speak. On the other hand, at 60 I'm learning more about tools than I have in my whole previous life. We live on a farm, for heaven's sakes! That is, our home is about to become a farm because the chickes will arrive April 15. Chickens make it a farm, you see. We have five acres--does size make a farm?--of which probably half is in forest. There's a small Christmas tree farm planted west of the house. We have no idea how to tend to those, but think it's a hoot because we're Jewish by choice. Former owners have kept various kinds of livestock so we have corrals and pens and rabbit hutches. My inner child wants a horse, but my wife and I know better, so the dream stays firmly where it has been for lo these many years and I remind myself how much we can't afford that particular kind of livestock. Goats. Milk goats. They make better sense. Anyway, tools . . . You got me started. Probably this belongs on my own blog. Thanks, Russ! By the way, what's a URI? Different from a URL . . . “Fingers were made before . . .” And they do still work better than lots of tools. I do this.
