Going traditional with this one: Blasta Nadur!
I'll admit I had some doubts about its stickiness when I swatched. But the washed, blocked swatch turned out so lovely that I keep petting it. 💖

I've just started your Curdach Cardigan. I keep thinking I'm working Cable B the wrong direction... until I remember I'm working top-down. 😂
(Almost done with the left front and about to join everything to start the body! Whee!)

Well, he can't fire JD Vance, so who else can he castigate? 🙄

He can't fire JDVance, so this is maybe next best?

I thought he'd already gone off the deep end... Who knew? (oh. wait...)

Former prof, learned to REread when puzzled.

I read, "...teaching the same intro course to freshmen..." and thought "Isn't what intro courses are for?"

AH! "...same intro course to the SAME freshmen..."

Yes. Exactly that.

(I think I could still do most of "Intro to Anthro" without notes!)

I did a ten-year life detour on Long Island a while back. Earlier this year, my house in Aquebogue (south side of the north fork) got 18". I'll be curious to see what this storm brings!
Most folks know (or learn) how to prepare for storms like this.
If you must, work remotely. Otherelse, enjoy!

Honestly? I thought they'd be eliminated last week, even though Kittle was out early. If they can do that, they can do this!
(And, bravado aside, I'm ready for 💔)

I'm up in PDX, so can't get the Warriors game free. So, watching Niners highlights, NE/LAC (not rooting for either the Pats or anything LA, but it's football) occasional dips into Golden globes Whee!

Texted my son "Yay! Win! But Seattle next week, without Kittle, so they've got another chance to 💔." Him: "we got to send Philly home so mission accomplished this year as far as I’m concerned"
(He also said he'd already trashed talked his Philly cousins. Love that (grown) kid!)

Wait! Wait! Didn't she just say that the ballroom his top priority?!?

Finish an almost-done knitting WIP (silly safety eye attachment tool!) for my granddaughter. Start a temperature scarf in PDX. (Could be interesting. Could be boring.)
And maybe, just MAYbe? Knit a sweater for myself.

Picture of a pomegranate on a countertop.

I bought a pomegranate. Now what?

Back in the day, I used to tell my students, "Do NOT turn in your first draft as your final paper!"

How can you be so un-curious about your own health?!?

Indeed.

I am so proud of my Oregonian Senators Merkley and Wyden!

So, so happy that you're my senator!
Thank you for the work you're doing.

Makes my heart hurt. 🥲

Oregon, for that matter!

Oregon, too!

Instead of spreading mulch and picking up cigarette butts as they did in DC, some of us in Portland are hoping that the National Guard (fellow Oregonians) will get shovels and buckets of hot asphalt to fill in some potholes. 🤞

Let's go, Packers!

Something good that's happened this week? You're writing again!

Transcript, please? I read more quickly that most people talk.

I scored two small victories in his class. He wore suits, with vests. One day, I asked if a friend made the vest he was wearing. "Yes. How could you tell?" "A woman made it. The buttons and button holes are on the wrong side for a man."
And I corrected his pronunciation of "Nez Pierce".

Mr. Sullivan, junior year, Leland High School. He made us read source documents like the Emancipation Proclamation (made my mother furious that he wasn't teaching "Lincoln freed the slaves"). He was stern. No nonsense. Eye-opening. Utterly intimidating. Difficult to please. Wonderful!

I love the feel of natural fibers! And I just ordered a pile of KnitPicks DK acrylic to make washable toys for my soon-to-be granddaughter. Son and DiL will have enough on their hands! They don't need to be handwashing stuffed bunnies and bears.

Whilst a kid, I was told, "If that's what you think, you have another think coming!" (I'm older than you, fwiw.)

Gotcha, sistah!
And they're so, so, SO confident!
Guy once told me I was missing new research from Jen Clodius on the (pre web) idea that communities of interest were forming on the internet.
Hello, alt.req.quilting?
And then he told me I was mispronouncing Clodius. 🙄
