Yeah... the most fun I had making something concrete was last weekend when I
wore to nasty blisters into my hands debarking about 170 feet of 18 inch
logs for a structure to camp under year round.  Computer software doesn't
often leave one with much to stand back and admire.  At least not so much
that non-software people can appreciate with you :-).

Sometimes it's nice to do things less abstract.
