Working with these new people has made me realize how much I'm sharing about myself. It's a new experience to be sure, but it feels nice. The conversation turned to my chair and it made me think of my.. hmm, the unsuccessful experiment of water travel. We set up wooden boards and a small container in the center to try and float over to the side. It turns out the loadstones don't react well with no *solid* ground underneath them. The chair survived the test though, and now I have more improvements to implement...
