Dear David: I guess if your garden is sprouting, it has turned you into a
real hoe-er. Nothing like a Dallas hoe-er is what I remember from a song.
I took David and Kelly to the Air Stream at the Hiatt. I thought this was
amazing American marketing of great pots. David picked up pots by American
greats and every one had a crack in it. He asked what I thought. First i
rationalized salvaging a pot from the throat arch of my kiln with a bit of J
B Weld but this was porcelain whiteware.
David let it be said that Phil is a chick magnet but man the cracks seem to
be attracted to you. I didn't see a one before I hung out with you.
Luved hangin' with ya.
Cheers,
Tony
