I Should Be Writing - 005

We've had a bit of a dry spell here at Gratz Industries as a combination of wireless router disconnectivity and marathon chicken coop building have conspired to keep us from blogging. But we're back with a vengeance with a new I Should Be Writing vlog! This week, I'm helping my friend (and internationally renowned potter) Michael Kline fire his kiln.

WATCH as I stoke a 2100 degree fire!
SEE amazing pottery issue forth!
HEAR a great tune from Jeff Barbra and Sarah Pirkle!

It's a delight for the senses this week on I Should Be Writing! (Well, at least two of the senses.)

My first video blog

Welcome to "I Should Be Writing," what I hope will be a semi-regular video blog (or "vlog," as the kids say today). Considering how long it took me to put together two and a half minutes of film, this may be the only one you get for the year, but perhaps I'll get faster at this editing business. And maybe a bit less fancy.

Enjoy!
