Converstation with Abigail yesterday evening.

Abigail: "What ya reading about?"
Sam (mumbling): "Hand engraving."
Abigail: Ham and gravy?

It just struck us funny how much "hand engraving" and "ham & gravy" sound alike.

Or maybe it was just us.

oh, the joys of growing older as a couple. here's a hint: YOU always mumble. Her hearing will be perfect until the day she dies. get used to it.

My wife hears with a cochlear implant and I have a high frequency hearing loss from years of shooting, other things that go "boom", snowmobile racing, motorcycles, crawler tractors, high pressure steam boilers, model airplane engines, loud music... (I started wearing hearing protection too late).

So, that sort of thing happens quite often around here. :)

I'm the deaf one in our family. Abigail's hearing is perfect. It was my mumbling, but I plan to use "ham & gravy" when talking about our art. For instance, Sam Welch is is great at ham & gravy.

Ham and gravy = hand engraving, its like Cockney rhyming slang. For example; "Tit for tat" = hat but is shortened to "titfer." Another example is "dog and bone" = phone.

Sounds like this morning's breakfast, with some biscuits thrown in.
