"The Case for Working With Your Hands"

Anybody catch this article in the NYTimes Sunday Mag? Basic summation: highly educated author works in office job which he finds unbearable. Author quits this job after finding that his after-work motorcycle restoration project to be much more in tune with his passion. Author opens up motorcycle repair business and ruminates on the elimination of 'true labor' from peoples' work lives.

Anyway, read it for yourselves and report back - I thought it was an interesting article, and look forward to reading the book (from which this article is derived).
