Float like a..... What?

I never have pictured myself as a boxer…. To be honest with you I never really pictured myself playing competitive badminton or working at night in a local pottery shop… Don’t worry mom, I’m not boxing… but I have joined a badminton club and I am taking pottery classes at a local shop. One of the neat things that we have learned about our community is that countless clubs (from chess to boxing) spring up during the colder seasons. I guess that they are there to help everyone get through the cold dark months of winter, and to give everyone a chance to get out and have some fun. I have to say that the pottery class is my favorite. It is a lot of fun going in to that little dusty shop where the music is really loud and I somehow always end up covered in clay. I don’t know why… its not like I try and get it in my hair or on my shoes… and somehow I’m the only one who ever really gets messy. The class is a good way to meet people and to make some useful things… but really… how many little bowls do we really need? My big goal is to make a mug. One that really holds liquid, doesn’t wobble, and looks halfway decent…. We will just have to see…
