Fly tying jumped on me from a Field and Stream article. Before long I had learned to wrap fur, feathers, and other materials around a hook and could catch fish with the result. My dad could work on a piece of furniture for months. He loved the precision. I preferred jobs I could finish in moments. It’s been a personality trait of mine for life. I don’t know whether I can do anything about it or not. I don’t think it really matters whether I prefer five-minute or five-week projects. Here’s a little thing I like to do when I come to church. Sunday mornings I pull up to my office outside the door, drop Patty and our stuff off, then drive down to the back of the parking lot. I want guests and seniors to be able to park closer to the building. Brandon Petersen and I park at about the same spot and most Sundays walk in together. Like I said, it’s a small thing but satisfying, and maybe it’s helpful to someone who needs a closer parking space.
