I love it, too, though I now appreciate why I was told that Intersession teaching (two hours a day, five days week for three and a half weeks) is sort of like trying to take a drink out of a fire hose.Jeffrey Sigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718317707555064653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-89456782503489525292014-01-05T09:14:24.879-05:002014-01-05T09:14:24.879-05:00Best of luck with your gig.

I earned my degree in college as an Art major (hard to believe, I know), with a focus on "Custom Designed Jewelry and Metalsmithing," so I know somewhat of which you speak. My senior project was even a matched pair of raised silver goblets with black walnut stems. Many hours tap-tap-tap-hammering away, turning flat sheets of silver into nice parabolicly shaped goblets. I was never going to be a great metalsmith, so I became a self-taught programmer instead... :-) You can see the results at:<br /><br />http://www.kaser.com/Goblets2.jpg<br /><br />That is, assuming the URL doesn't get stripped by the blog software. :-)<br /><br />Again, very sorry for your loss!Everett Kaserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12371555243187874414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-21556283209009151592014-01-04T12:22:55.904-05:002014-01-04T12:22:55.904-05:00I can't believe the slack this Prof gig is get...I can't believe the slack this Prof gig is getting me from this site's fiercest wags. But to be honest, Everett, it's putting a dent in a lot of things. I'm just hoping in the end I'll come out of it as hammered silver. Now go play with that image:)<br /><br />On a serious note, the patriarch of what I regard as my Greek family passed away this week, and my reference to hammered silver is in honor of his nonpareil work as Greece's greatest jeweler and finest gentleman, Ilias Lalaounis. God bless your soul, my friend.Jeffrey Sigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718317707555064653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-911878880947755902014-01-04T11:51:58.619-05:002014-01-04T11:51:58.619-05:00And I'll follow AmA by resisting the urge to m...And I'll follow AmA by resisting the urge to make the comment that "dwarfs" and "fly" brings to mind.<br /><br />But congratulations, Prof!
