Kale VogtApril 14, 2025Little evidence from my time in college remains today. There wasn’t much proof I ever attended to begin with. I dealt with college for only about a year-and-a-half before I asked myself, “Why am I doing this?”There is one college notebook, though, that somehow dodged all my closet purges over the years. It’s a notebook from my “Design Fundamentals” class.

I sit writing this from a favorite coffee shop of mine in Cincinnati. The windows are open, oldies1 are softly playing through the overhead speakers while I stare at a blooming cherry tree through the adjacent window. If my blood pressure were any lower, I’d be dead. This is my third crack at capturing my thoughts from this weekend. I got off my flight last night red-eyed and stale, but with my cup full to the brim. I spent last weekend in Portland, Oregon, working the Lie-Nielsen Hand Tool Event.

Kale VogtMarch 11, 2025Today, for the first time ever, I drove Catbus outside of the slow and safe streets of Covington. And I survived. Okay maybe that’s dramatic, but for a millennial never acquired the desire to learn how to drive stick shift, this was quite the feat. Let the record show that if I didn’t have to take Catbus for this errand, I wouldn’t have. The 4x8 sheets of underlayment I was picking up, however, wouldn’t fit in my small hatchback. I may have stalled out at a red light. Twice.
