Flying is for the Birds

The Great Outdoors, Archives / Chris

Growing up I remember that any movies about the invention of flight for human transport included the Wright Brothers as well as a man who donned wings. His venture, from my recollections, involved feathers strapped to his arms and a leap from a structure onto the ground, resulting in a balled-up mess of plumes. I

It makes me ridiculously happy, this coffee mug. It is the right shape for my hand to curl around its smooth surface and feel the warmth of a fresh cup. It’s beautiful and one of a kind. My dragonfly mug was handcrafted by Terry Plasket, a master potter at WheatonArts. He hand-painted it and fired

Twenty Years Later

Commentary / Chris
