Craftsmanship


It seemed appropriate given the last post to point to a piece recently done by one of our number: Rediscovering Craftsmanship. I believe - if you are in the Ottawa valley - he will also sharpen your knives for real cheap.

Perhaps the life of the mind needs the balance of carefully cultivating skills of the hands, to reorient us toward the tactile and the material.

I understand the author also covets the craft of raising chickens in an urban area.

Dave,

I hear that a book written by the fellow in the article mentioned below will be reviewed by this fellow who believes that sharpness is as important in the kitchen as it is in the boardroom.

Oh, and just to prick a bit, Adunare, I think you should articulate your censorship policies.

With love,

I censor what moves me when it moves me. Articulate? :)
