Rest in Peace Mike Moorlach.

Mike Moorlach, the past owner of Mikes Workshop and good friend passed away Friday. Mike was well known in the scrolling community. He imported and sold the Flying Dutchman brand of scroll saw blades. More than that, Mike was a true gentleman. Whenever Mike and I would talk I would come away smiling. I will miss our conversations. Rest in peace Mike.

For memorial service details go to this link. I think it would be great if each of you who knew or purchased from Mike could visit the page and sign the guest book. I'm sure Mike's family would love to hear your appreciation of what Mike did for our community.

Dad's have special skills.

This pattern is in poor taste. It's inappropriate. It is sophomoric and just plain rude. I decided to post it because of the following scientific research.

A survey by the Phew Research Center showed that eight out of ten fathers played the "pull my finger" trick on their children. Four out of ten adult children responded that their father still ask them to "pull his finger".

Fortunately three out of those four adult children said that they now know it is a trick and declined. The last guy could not be reached by the PRC for further questioning. it is believed he succumbed to methane poisoning.
