yep. it's like woodworking to me. sort of calming in a way. that was why i offered to make as many as he wanted. i usually try to show new guy's how to make them, because it's something i've always found is extremely simple. the only 2 rules are really alternating white/solids, and remembering to split a pair.

of course most new guy's have neither picked it up, or stuck around either...
