Gary Jackson: Fire When Ready Pottery
A Chicago potter’s somewhat slanted view of clay & play
Categories: bike, sunrise

A little cloudy this morning…
Thought it might be a repeat of yesterday’s rainy beginning?!
when I woke up and it was pouring… roll over… back to sleep.

But not today – maybe a few drips here & there, a little drizzle
and some wet patches of bike trail where you could tell it had “just” rained!
But I trudged onwards… perhaps due to my own clouded judgment.

And it turned out to be worthwhile.
Okay, so there was no “real” sunrise to speak of… but the clouds were really cool.
both early on when I was still questioning if I was going to get poured upon…
as well as towards the end of my ride when the clouds were making my stop
at the beach a very serene moment.

Hey Gary!
You know that necklace promo were doing? It is the first promo we’ve done in 20 years of business that has recipients contacting us without us having to call them. Fanfeakintastic! We had a meeting with an architect today to show off our tiles.

Congratulations Scott… it’s amazing what a little “shameless self-promotion” can do for you, huh?! I have a friend here in Chicago making handmade tiles as well, and I’ve been trying for YEARS to get him to do something similar to this. But he’s still dragging his feet. I’m even still trying to convince him to get his website up & running?!!! Better late than never, huh? Maybe your “success story” will inspire him to get his act together too? Congratulations again – keep me updated. And don’t forget the little people when you’re hugely successful and making tiles for the stars!!!
