So recently I started I started carving rocks.

Carving rocks?

Yeah, I know.

It's just like an artistic hobby.

I started out using a Dremmel tool.

You know, it's kind of like a small hand-held electric drill,

a little bit that can grind through the rocks, but then I moved on to soapstone and hand-held carving tools.

Okay, I had no idea.

I know, it's not something I advertise like I said just a hobby but I love working away at the stones and seeing what comes out of them.

I'm not good enough to sculpt something that you'd recognize so I just see what part of the stone feels like it

should be removed and what part should stay. So a hobby. A hobby for sure a

pleasant little distraction which is why I can relate to this week's story so well.

Now we're currently walking down Main Street in the town of Norway, Maine.

Right? This place is really small town America.

It's quaint with its shops and cafes and restaurants along either side of the road.

It is. And our destination is this little white building right here on the corner.

Hmm. Well, look at that.

Yeah, that's right, Ray. We've come to Maine to join a social group called the Weary Club of Norway.
