My Candles At Work

Hey Everyone!

There's been a lot o' stuff happening in my life, and so, alas, I've not be posting here as much as I should. 

Anyway, here's what's been on my blog the last few weeks:

Dec 13, "The Art Of The Wax," https://www.michaeljaytucker.com/post/the-art-of-the-wax

So, as you know, I’m in the middle of one of my infamous multipart series, this one on making candles, which is the hobby I sort of picked up during lockdown and I was bored to the proverbial tears. Or even tears without proverbs. Which is worse, I’m sure. ‘Cause you know what they say. A rolling English major gathers no moss when there’s a dog in the apple a day and it’s always late than better. 

I’m sure they say that. Heard it a million times.

Okay, today’s the day I’m going to talk about working with wax.

Which is really kinda…strangely enough…a lot of fun.

And sort of artistic.

Dec 20, "Wax, Wicks, And Shapes," https://www.michaeljaytucker.com/post/wax-wicks-and-shapes

Okay, last time I talked about doing color and wax and candles. Today, I’m going to talk about shapes and wax.

It’s gonna be fascinating, I’m sure.

Okay, maybe I’m not sure…but, heck, we can all pretend, can’t we?

 

Dec 27, "Merry (belated) Christmas," https://www.michaeljaytucker.com/post/merry-belated-christmas

So this is just a belated Happy Holidays message. I wasn’t able to post before now because, as you know if you read my social media, I became a grandfather for the second time last week. We’ve been down visiting the kids and their kids in Austin over the last few days.

Anyway, I wanted to announce the birth of Miles Tillman Tucker, who joins his big, three-year-old sister Hazel Muir Tucker, on the planet Earth as of December 21, 2021. 

 

Jan 1, "Happy New Year!" https://www.michaeljaytucker.com/post/happy-new-year

Happy 2022 everyone! Have a great time tonight, but be safe! No drinking and driving, and avoid Covid. I haven't got that many friends, and I sure as heck don't want to lose any of you!

 

Jan 3, "Okay, I Can’t Help It. I’m A Political Animal," https://www.michaeljaytucker.com/post/okay-i-can-t-help-it-i-m-a-political-animal

Yes folks, I tried to lay off politics in my personal blog. But, alas, I just can't help it. I'm a political animal. 

Stay tuned! More to come!
