To be honest, I'm not certain what will take place here. It just seemed that it could become a platform to say whatever comes to mind concerning the relationship between me, bobbin making and lacemaking in general. (See how I have already rambled). Perhaps eventually I can organize it into a coherent shape and use it as the basis for the great american novel. Probably better then the one I planned as "Fantasies of a Stagehand". Hopefully as time goes on I will have amused some, upset some, and overall made all who read this think.
