Chairman

This may seems strange to those who know me, but am continually fascinated with old things. Chairs in particular fascinate me. I have concluded that my fascination is derived in a certian degree by the mystery connected with the old item. Everything that is affected by human interaction contains a unique history. Chair are obviously designed to interact with people on a regular basis. It is due to this that I find chairs to be so cool.

I currently have two chairs of which I am proud. I guess you could call this the beginning of my collections, but I don't know if I would go that far... yet. Since I don't have pictures of my chairs I'll try and describe them.

Small Swivel Task Chair
This chair is pretty cool... it is full swivel task chair with a screw height adjustment and a reclining back. Its construction is solid wood and cast iron.

Small wooden folding chair
This, I can only assume was the predecessor to the metal folding chairs we know and love. The cool thing is it folds differently, is kinda layed back, and smaller. I have used this a lot for photography.

Chairs for me are a new thing. I haven;t done a lot of research concerning chairs and their styles, but I think I may start. My grandpa... has/had a old dental chair from the... I don't know what era, but its cool. If I had room for it I would love to have it. My mom just recently acquired a cool old school desk. Chairs like these have character. They have their own history.

Okay I guess i'm certifiable now. I'll see what I can do about getting some photos up.

Whoa!

I just realized that I hadn't posted pictures from the Presbytery Baseball outing. I think I may have sent them to a couple of people, but I must not have published them. Oops, my bad.


Here you go!

Who are you?

Yes I'm talking to you... I don't use one of those nifty visitor trackers apps, if there's one built into blogger I haven't messed around enough to know how to use it. Due to this I really have no idea who reads me blog. Thus the reason for this post. I am curious who frequents my blog and why. That's right I am asking "you all" a question. Actually I have a list of questions.

What's your name?

Why do you read my blog?

Where do you live? (This can be as vague as a state if you're that paranoid)

Where did you hear about my blog?

Have you recommended my blog to others for ANY reason? (ie: hey dude check this guy out he's a total joke)(I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE REASON)

Do you have any comments on the current state of my blog? (no harsh language please)

Place your answers to my inquiry in the comments!

Thanks
