Since I tie most every evening, I usually have something nearby in the way of refreshment - usually ice-water. I don't eat at the bench since I'm constantly using my fingers for something and sticky-gooey doesn't mix with rabbit hair dubbing . No alcohol. My father was an alcoholic for all of the days that I knew him and it ruined his life along with the lives of our family, so I just didn't think I wanted to follow that in my own life.

A good Dr. Pepper on the rocks hits the spot, but I have a bad habit of spilling my drinls, so I usually stick to ice-water.

Oh, and I do have my desk set up so I can watch TV. I have found that I can't tie without a little distraction.

Kelly.
