Today is the first day of November, and it is ushered in, somehow most appropriately, by a grey sky and misty rain that was just enough to smear all the dust and grime on my windshield into a vision-obscuring mess, but not enough to wash the gunk away. I have parked my car completely in […]
Come this time next year it is going to feel as if it was a million years ago. At least that’s what I’m hoping.
It’s November now, and yesterday it even rained, and there are fall colors and pumpkins and wintery things everywhere I look. This, of course, means that my mind turns toward baking, because winter and baking go hand in hand.
Do you know what is better than having one friend with a yarn store? Or better than having *two* friends with a yarn store? Having those two friends decide to form a partnership and open a store that allows them both to coordinate not only what they can buy, but what they can provide to […]

The past two days I have been driving down to San Francisco with my boss for meetings, and at this point I am so tired I can barely think at all. The traffic going down was nightmarish both mornings; yesterday we left at 6:30 and it took three hours and we were late for the […]
It’s a good thing that today is Friday, because I do not think I would be capable of doing much in the way of productive work that requires actual thought if I had even one more day at work this week. Today, luckily, was spent doing stuff that is mostly mindless, and so far the […]
