A pair of vintage wood dumbbells purchased from the Modern Antiquarium in Healdsburg CA sometime between 2015 and 2019.

I am not entirely convinced that these are, in fact, wooden dumbbells but I’m hard pressed to find evidence to the contrary. In this episode, I attempt to determine the type of wood through calculator soup cube roots and wood density charts. I reveal the complete recipe for my most excellent sourdough waffles. I describe my dalliance with Etsy and eBay and the sale of what was probably my sister's Judas Priest tank top from the Defenders of the Faith Tour of 1984. I also mull over my dalliance with a late career in studio art, including encounters with artist Teresa Camozzi and sculptor Bruce Johnson.
