This is the first morning in a long time when I have actually sat down in front of the computer to drink my first cup of coffee and contemplate the day. A day should be contemplated, you know. It is...

I've probably said this once or twice already, but it's such an important concept to me. The actions of every single person in this world are performed in an attempt to do one thing, and that is to survive. As...

Sometimes I wish Mr. Rogers was still on tv in the mornings-- or maybe it is, I haven't really checked. I need to hear his soothing voice singing 'It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood' while putting on his cardigan...

These days I am slightly blurry. I think the events of the past month have caused me to slip from my path and I've been struggling mightily to get back up to the road. Before I left for Ireland my...

Ahhhhhhhhhh. The heat has dissipated somewhat, returning to levels in the low 80s rather than the high 90s. Randy is off to Japan. The Ten are off to Alaska. I have a car and a cell phone again. And I...

Have I ever told you about my Theory of Vibration? Although I don't apply the TOV enough, I believe that for people like me who suffer from depression all their lives, a key ingredient in the elusive super cure is...

We've gone from our season of glorious summertime straight into the lugubrious bummertime in just a matter of a week. Sunshine to shadow; energizing to enervating. From now until next June we will have an endless parade of rain,...

When you are hit with a series of events that are not all positive, you start to question a lot of things in your life. It would be nice if we could inspect our lives every so often without having...

In the introduction to Poor Richard's Almanack for the year 1733, the author writes, in an attempt to explain why he is writing the Almanack: "...and my Wife, good Woman, is, I tell her, excessive proud; she cannot bear, she...

The reindeer are singing "I Ain't Got No Body", but they do begin to have bellies. I seem to be progressing so slowly now as compared to the main body; I am only halfway through the patterned area. Doubtless, the...

I was forced to make a tough decision this morning: A. get to my sadistic boss's 8:00 Monday Management Meeting on time or B. take a picture of Varg Pojken progress to post to the blog. I erred on the...

There really is a god. The lace dilemma on the Mourning Shawl has been repaired and although it could be slightly more perfect, I choose to leave it as it is, as a token to ward off further evil. Pictures!...

Sherlock says "Good Arfning!" Much depressed yesterday over the lace dilemma, I have now drawn strength from the Fibertraditions crowd and will try the solutions offered (after sitting in the gutter and crying for a while). First, I will try...

Today seems to be the Friday for Fluster-Bombing. I was flustered by having waked up late while still needing to get packed for my trip Out East. (Mini Driver will take me to Pullman today, through the wonderful little town...

The shawl border is complete!! I won't bore you with another photo, it looks the same as the last one, only longer and without a needle still attached to one end! Isn't it always the case that by the time...

These Henry VIII quizzes and such have returned me to thinking about those intrepid personality tests developed by Meyers-Brigg called (strangely enough) the Meyers-Brigg personality tests. I am an INTJ. I have always been an INTJ, no matter how many...
The Spring Forward routine has left me with one foot in the old time and one in the new, yet again. I feel like I'm stuck in a Star Trek transporter accident and can't wake up. Mourning shawl border report:...

The center scallop of the mourning shawl border has two points, and I have finished the first point, so the halfway point has been attained. Last night a bunch of tanks rolled into downtown Baghdad and took a palace or...

I have now completed one quarter of the total number of scallops on the Mourning Shawl border. My current sense of calm satisfaction will float over me until tonight when I realize more progress must be made in order to...

Yes, yes, yes I know I've been remiss in blogging my knitting and especially have I been non-entertaining lately. Chalk it up to fear of really doing some unredeemable thing to the blog and website. For example, I succeeded in...

Last night as I was driving home from work I was listening to our President's speech and its promise of war soon to come. There were an abnormal number of accidents along the way, and I very nearly got rear-ended...

The trip to Bainbridge was a nice outing. While waiting for the ferry and riding the ferry I worked on my second Koigu sock, which is coming along nicely: I'm finding that this one is smaller than the first one,...
