Once upon a time, there was a girl who was afraid of the dark.  Then she grew up, went away to college, got married, and...well, silly as it seems, never really got over her fear of the dark.  One day, the girl's husband decided to take a job in Alaska and for the first time she lived on her own!  It was fun and games and pizza for a while, until she heard The Noise. The girl had just set her alarm for the morning and was about to fall asleep when she heard The Noise.  It was a sound of metal clanking against metal, and it was most definitely coming from inside the apartment.  She immediately called her husband but, as he was occupied at the time, had to communicate via text message.  Her husband decided it had probably just been in her head and was therefore not worried.  But the girl was!  So instead of investigating like a grown-up, the girl sat in her bed with the light on, clutching her phone and her Mace, until she was mostly convinced the...

Happy February! It's always a good February when you get a whole extra day. Wil and I are spending our extra-long month preparing the house for sale in the hopes that it will go quickly and we can move to Madison with little fuss. More on that later. But first - crafts! My favorite indie dyer, Expression Fiber Arts , announced a year-long tea-inspired yarn collection!

I'm selling a lot of the yarn that I'm not sure I'll ever use in order to justify buying many of this year's tea yarns. I know the picture is nice, but it doesn't do the real thing justice. My dream is to make a big sweater and a big shawl out of these beauties. This is a close-up of Keri's wedding shawl ( Lyrata ). It's coming along; I'm nearing the end.

Happy July (almost August)! I can't believe we've been in Madison for 4 months already. I've got real work now, not just training, and it seems to be going well. The biological scientists of the world are doing even better, as evidenced by the great news coming out about vaccine trials. In the meantime, I'll remind you all to wear masks when out in public, wash your hands and avoid touching your face, and socialize responsibly. Those are pretty easy actions to take when you remember that, by doing them, you're expressing a great respect for life, both yours and those around you. Keep up the great work! We haven't been doing much because...pandemic. Wil took a road trip to visit his family in Missouri, and we've been spending a lot of time outside to stave off cabin fever. Luckily there's a state trail right behind our apartment, and we're on the outskirts of the Madison area so it's easy to get out. Appreciate this lovely picture. I sacrificed a ...
