Is it wrong to feel a glimmer of joy whenever I hold the door for someone who’s just a teensy bit too far away, but feels compelled to run and “make good” on the courtesy? Chivalry isn’t dead. It’s just immature.
Design in depth | David Rasmussen
We caught up with David Rasmussen at his Colorado woodshop to learn more about his maple and walnut plates, talking over the high-pitched whine of table saws buzzing in the background. (Note: this interview has been condensed and edited.)
Why did you choose to make these unique wooden plates?
The entire line of wooden tableware came about as a favor to friends who owned a cafe. They asked me if I could make them a set of wooden serving dishes for their patrons. When I stopped in, the cafe owners told me they were a hit, which I didn't expect. I figured there may be something there and I've built upon the idea since then.
What started it all?
The original creation was the cafe plate, which was used to serve family dishes. Given the positive interest that generated, I decided to offer similar items for different purposes, including a large plate for main dishes, a tray for serving appetizers, and so on.
Give us a glimpse of the design process.
I've been working with wood ever since I was 14. I spent time making furniture and found that I enjoyed working with it as a medium. While I've diversified since then to do metal and upholstery, I still do most of my designs with wood.
As a result, the inspiration for the plates' look is largely based on my personal style. The colorful rims on the plates add that nice little touch.
All our wood is sourced from Colorado and as you can hear for yourself, everything's built here.
#daylightsavings, you've robbed me of an hour for the last time...
What would your high school self say?
Overheard at a restaurant as a couple are choosing a wine for their meal
Guy: ...I'll pass on the merlot. It's heavy on black fruit and I usually go for something else.
Server: Certainly. I'll bring out your other choice.
Guy: (After server leaves) I can't believe I just said that. If the high school version of me heard this, he'd be shocked.
Gal: What would he say?
Guy: You first - what if your high school self heard you say that?
Gal: Hm...I think my high school self would think that she made it. She's successful, she's enjoying life, and all that hard work she's done is putting her in a good place. And she's with someone she loves. What about you?
Guy: What would my high school self say?
Gal: Yeah.
Guy: What a tool!

This morning was unexpectedly moving
While sitting and waiting for the train to work on a raised, open platform, shivering in the below freezing air, a very curious coincidence occurred.
The wind was whipping in the occasional flake of snow - a few here, a few there - providing a wintry reminder against the backdrop of a cold, unilluminated sky.
As the sun shook off its cloudy cover, it lit up the sky at the same time the snowfall grew heavier.
For a fraction of time, perhaps only a minute or two, the brilliant sunrise and light flurries of snow combined to create a subtle spectacle. While the streets below teemed with the patter of everyday life, the snowflakes twirled above their heads, catching and reflecting the morning light.
For a fleeting moment, all was right in the world.
Then the train came.
Placed on hold over the phone and the waiting music is an INSTRUMENTAL version of the Twelve Days of Christmas. The same 5 notes are playing over and over and over and over again. #thinkHappyThoughts #holidaysAreHere
