"I suppose I have a really loose interpretation of 'work', because I think that just being alive is o much work at something you don't always want to do. The machinery is always going, Even when you sleep. " Andy Warhol
We have too many people who live without working. We have too many more who work without living. At some point in our 'career' we must choose between living to work and working to live…" - Dean Charles R. Brown
Sol, sent this quote a few weeks ago. I must say so far - 'I love work'
. . . . but like the idea of retiring early, very early.
Having hobbies make retirement much more interesting, actually collecting can make all life more interesting. IF you haven't started a collection of BLENKO or other West Virginia This is your 'lucky week'
the WV Birthday /Blenko will be sold on Friday June 20th at BLENKO GLASS Milton, West Virginia. A limited edit on - only 145 pieces.
Store opens at 8 am.
Every man dies, but how many really live? -Braveheart

It's not true that life is one damn thing after another; it is one damn thing over and over.

this is my favorite quote about life.
I can't think about Warhol or philosophizing about life right now. All I can think about is getting to Milton and meeting all you wonderful Blenko people in pursuit of the birthday piece.
ReplyDeleteI think they should reserve a piece or two for people who can show their knowledge of West Virginia. Perhaps they could name all 55 counties!
West Virginia counties
BARBOUR, BERKELEY, BOONE, BRAXTON, BROOKE, CABELL, CALHOUN, CLAY, DODDRIDGE, FAYETTE, GILMER, GRANT, GREENBRIER, HAMPSHIRE, HANCOCK, HARDY, HARRISON, JACKSON, JEFFERSON, KANAWHA, LEWIS, LINCOLN, LOGAN, MARION, MARSHALL, MASON, MCDOWELL, MERCER, MINERAL, MINGO, MONONGALIA, MONROE, MORGAN, NICHOLAS, OHIO, PENDELTON, PLEASANTS, POCAHONTAS, PRESTON, PUTNAM, RALEIGH, RANDOLPH, RITCHIE, ROANE, SUMMERS, TAYLOR, TUCKER, TYLER, UPSHUR, WAYNE, WEBSTER, WETZEL, WIRT, WOOD, WYOMING
There! Did I get them all? The tie breaker can be the person who gets them correctly located on a map! And what county is the Blenko Factory in? Why Cabell, of course!
See you soon! This is my last post as I'm on the road. Milton or bust!
