First, a story.

Last week, while I was fighting with a piece of maple veneer, my pencil fell from behind my ear and rolled under my router table. I retrieved it, with much grumbling, tucked it back behind my ear and realized I actually had a tender spot from my pencil and my glasses rubbing. I vividly recall thinking to myself "A real carpenter would have a fricken apron!" (no joke).

Apparently, you are full on psychic! Or actively watching me fumble ineptly in my shop:P. The truly amazing part is the beautifully illustrated book has several great suggestions on fixing the issues I was having with the veneer strips too!

As to the M & Ms not only are they as awesome as ever but you sent me so many that I could easily pay necessary wife and children tax and still have lots left over!

Thank you so much! I am genuinely touched by the thought, care, and expense you put into sending me these gifts. Merry Christmas! I hope next year is amazing for you!

P.S. Im going to have to learn how to tie the apron myself (interesting genetics left me about 70 percent shoulders with stubby little arms:P). My wife is getting irritated that i keep asking her to do it:P
