Trade ya a greenie for a brownie.
I remember
in Elementary school when some kid other than yourself was picking his nose you
would say “ I’ll trade ya a greenie for a brownie.” Other classics were “pick
me a winner, or don’t pick your nose you’ll poke your eyes out!.” So great
being a kid when PC is out the window.
The scratch
I can’t itch told me that green pots don’t sell. I looked around my house and
sure enough I don’t have any green pots other than my favourite Richard
Batterham’s and the pots I bought last year in Korea. I do have a pile of
brownies in every shade of the somber palette.
Here are
some pics of my green stage. I rather like the pots. I was a poster boy for MKM
stamps at the time and I loved what I called Korean celadon on those pots.
Another time I was told shino didn’t sell so I devoted more than a decade to
proving that wrong. I made some pots this week and thought I’d love to revisit
my greenies. Does that happen to you in your careers? You go back and revisit a
period and try to bring new life to it.
These pots and the little shino bottle were from
my train kiln that I tore down and moved to the big city lights of Hamilton

Why does one move on?
One moves on:
- You have fully explored and exhausted the possibilities.
- Put your toe in and it's not for you, not a fit.
- You're so bad at it you get kicked out of the club.
- You suffer from ADD.
Reason for going back:
- Didn't really explore the possibilities (almost impossible to do) the first time in.
- You don't know what you got till it's gone.
- "An itch is an itch" as he tried to get the cone off his head to lick his ....
- You happen on a stash of ritalin.
From what I can tell from reading your blog for a year or so now that you know it never hurts and is in fact healthy to turn the tables to see what you see. That old Nobel Laureate said Don't Look Back and he also said Don't Think Twice It's Alright Babe. It usually comes to, can you afford to take the time and expend the resources to explore all the possibilities. ...dh
