Eldred Gray

My high school self spent summers working at the family company that my dad took over and eventually shut down to a small (tiny) consulting business.  The Eldred Company was created by my great grandfather to design and create efficient machines for the glass industry.  Our family called it ‘the shop’.  And at the shop

A Bull in Both Directions

I’m reading the memoir, Wild by Cheryl Strayed.  You know how sometimes you watch a movie and identify with a character in deep ways but don’t exactly know why.  Maybe the character puts language to things that you’ve thought, or does things that you wish to be true about you, or has some kind of
