I was looking at my cable remote last night. Guess what! I have DVR. Yes. I’ve had this for 3 months and just discovered it. Oops. Maybe I will keep my cable for a bit longer. Until my rate goes up…unless I can negotiate to keep the same [...]

I'm completely taken with this pattern. It's unique looking and really nice. Although I'm not sure about the yarn choice. No acrylics for me, thank you very much.

It’s a cold day here. The actual temperatures are in the teens, which isn’t all that bad, but the windchill makes it much colder. Still I did go out to run a couple of errands and go to the laundromat. There is more snow in the forecast for the next two [...]

The next several days are going to be very busy. I still have to finish preparing for my presentation at [...]
