That mid-mod cabinet that I got a couple months ago is now retiring to a life as a desk or entry table for a Mid-Mod enthusiast. Singer switched to using some particle board in the late 50s/early 60s, with both veneer & Formica (easier care) on the table tops.

I note here: there will be homework, because seriously, you’ve gotta have basics.

Putting on my behaviorist hat for a thread. Our popular narrative arcs tell us that the story ends when we successfully escape the monster, defeat the corrupt government, flee the abuse, walk free of oppression.
This is where we end stories.
Our narratives lie to us. We are not made whole when the narrative ends. The conclusion of one lifecycle of narrative spawns the next. We move from the resolution into the next origin story, and as we proceed into the next cycle, we carry with us the damage, and skills, we gained in our previous cycle.
