    Working-at-home-Friday and Knitting Content!

    By some strange conjunction of the planets and stars, I had no meetings scheduled for today.  This is unusual, as my job sometimes seems to exist so there's someone to attend all the meetings.  For example, on Tuedays I have 7 meetings

    Fall is in the air

    Saturday, 15 September 2007 6:04 P GMT-08
