\u201cHave you seen my table?\u201d Trudy shouted across the street? She was eager to show off her husband\u2019s (rare) handiwork.<\/p>\n
Bill walked over and stood in the shade of the Lacy Oak. \u201cWow\u2026 He\u2019s\u2026 he\u2019s\u2026\u201d Then was silent, holding his chin and looking down at the ground.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s what?\u201d Trudy asked. I cringed at what might follow.<\/p>\n
Bill held up his hand with his index finger pointing upward. \u201cWho is the guy who painted the Sistine Chapel?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n
Trudy laughed. \u201cMichalangelo,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s it!\u201d he said. \u201cHe\u2019s Michelangelo.”<\/p>\n
I turned to look at my creation: an over-varnished steel wire spool converted into a crude table. I ran my hand along the top of it, getting a sliver in the process.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been to Rome. I\u2019ve sat on the benches along the walls and strained my neck looking up at those frescos. And of course I don\u2019t need to tell you this, but a work of art this table is not. Cool looking, yes. Useful, maybe. But art!?<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s just say\u2026 it doesn\u2019t have my initials on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
