Norm, You have inspired me and improved the quality of my life, in addition to making me a much better woodworker. I saw note about your retirement and looked around my house,with all the "Norm" projects and realized how much influence you have had on my family's life. And then I realized how many homes there are that can also say the same thing. You've been a heck of a force for good, and to help us realize what we can do ourselves. Thanks!

Great point on brain exercise. It also brings a real sense of accomplishment that is also important - especially when the 8-5 job seems filled with futility sometimes.

Don't worry about aarp solicitations - the older we are the more tools we have acquired.
