As a Lampworker, it is one fine blessing to be able to walk down stairs every day to my work-shop, and not drive hundreds of miles to some show. I am very thankful to Ebay for this. This is truly remarkable. I turn on my laptop, and off we go. My Beads can be seen by anybody on the planet with a Internet connection. Of course, there are other benefits as well.  I get to spout off my opinion of our world leaders for all to see and glean from. This has the psychological effect of making me feel important, I think to myself; "perhaps they are listening to me,"...just maybe somebody besides my wife actually hears me. What a wonderful placebo to think the Illuminati of the world coupled with my wife's monotone "umhm's, are held captive by my every word.!

 I love to talk NFL, Eschatology, Apologetics, Politics. My wife loves Beads. I enjoy making them but thats about as far as it goes. When the work is done, I don't talk glass.
