    There are photos to post, and knitting to show, but today just feels random.  For your review, a collection of random thoughts and meanderings.1.  I finally started putting my stash up on Ravelry and it's a daunting task.  There ar

    Stash Enhancement at the British Autumn Classic

    Sunday we drove to Morgan Hill (about 10 miles south of San Jose, so about 30 miles south of Niles) to attend the California Autumn Classic British Auto Show.  Specifically, Ken wanted to see if there were any TVRs or Nash Metropolitans on exhib

    Blogiversary, FO

    Sunday, 19 October 2008 7:06 P GMT-08
    Today is my 4th blogiversary at Blog-City.  I had a blog (with a different name) for about 18 months on Blogger - I'll have to check the exact dates on that one - but never did a lot with it.  Funny, I can't imagine not blogging now

    I was an accident prone child.  There are scars on my face, arms, legs and back of my head from various tumbles.  I knocked out my front teeth with a teeter-totter.  I fell down the stair wearing loafers and broke my foot.  I even

    We had a lovely relaxing weekend, even though we didn't get the Monday holiday off.  Government offices, banks and the Post Office were closed; high tech was open and everyone was loving the much easier than normal commute.

    Rushing into 2009

    Yom Kippur ended at sundown, and that marks the end of the High Holidays for this year.  For some reason, it always seems that time starts racing to the end of the year at the end of Yom Kippur.  I checked the calendar, and it's filling

    Thinking Out Loud

    To Bess:  The climate in the San Francisco Bay Area is unusual (what I really want to say is bizarre).  I've lived here for 27 years, and in that time there have been 2 serious freezes.  The temperatures in 1989 spent almost 3 week

    The First Rain of the Season

    Sunday, 5 October 2008 4:05 P GMT-08
    We did indeed have rain this weekend.  Ken woke me at 1:32 Saturday morning so I'd be sure to hear it on the patio roof!  It was, after all, quite an occasion: the first rain since March 15!The plants looked so much fresher - the rain w

    My Third Sweater (or Time to Do Over)

    Friday, 3 October 2008 4:48 P GMT-08
    Looking at photos of Bess' Adult Surprise Sweater reminds me that I've wanted to do something similar for a long time.  For a while I collected cotton odd balls in pale, southwestern shades.  I've swatched shades of reds and gr
