Why The Shop?

I titled this blog The Shop after my dad's shop in our back yard in Schmelta, Schmutah. It was really an uber-shed. He would go there and spend hours working on pet projects. He used it as a sort of fortress of solitude. I spent my last real quality time with Dad in that shop. We thumbed through a tools catalogue he had gotten in the mail. He looked at each item and said, "need it," or "got it." I love that shop.
