My only regret? I won’t be able to be at the wedding. I’m shattered by this, but I had agreed to teach at Shepherd’s Harvest on the same day over a year ago, so I can’t back out now! (And, I adore Shepherd’s Harvest – maybe not as much as Amanda, but it’s pretty close!)

Well, Let’s Hope So!
Friday, February 4, 2011 By Rick Levine Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22) You are motivated to get a lot done at work today with the Sun-Mars conjunction activating your 6th House of Employment. The cluster of planets in futuristic Aquarius encourages you to set pragmatism aside and take a risk for what you want….
The Mother of a Young Man
Max’s singing of the blessings, his chanting, his whole demeanor was so poised and full of grace. He absolutely glowed with happiness. Max made us all very proud – himself included.
Here Comes The Sun
I’m feeling the lack of sun more this year than any other year. I’ve heard that as folks grow older the whole missing-the-sun thing can become more intense (hence the move of so many folks to ‘sun valley’) in retirement.
Silence is Golden!
Complex and difficult are two different things. Complex can be broken down into a set of simple actions, and that’s exactly what this technique is. I won’t say it’s easy, but I will say that even a very new knitter can get it by following the simple steps.
Hope From Mr. Levine
October will mark an extended period of HOME TIME, and October will be pattern writing month. My current mental preparation before the onset of “Worksheet Wonderland” are like those initial folds in an origami project. (And it allows me to rationalize the time I’ve spent playing sudoku.)
It’s My Party!
I’ve not been to Italy for over 20 years – and I’ve NEVER been as far south as Rome. I’ve been to Florence a few times, but that’s it (that’s PLENTY!) To be able to go with a group of knitters, several of whom I know and just love, and to be able to share knitting tips and tricks and new patterns with them is going to be pure joy!
Vegetarians, Avert Your Eyes
We passed Greg’s meats on the way to the Mayo so many time, but it wasn’t until this year that we stopped in.
Oh, man, it’s an amazing place. Well, if you like bacon it is.
AND they took the Grand Champion at the MN state fair in Bacon, Ham & Summer Sausage.
And [drum roll] the prices are so good they make the drive down totally worthwhile.
Rick Levine, do I need to get a restraining order..?
I’m feeling like I need an office again, and I just can’t stand the thought of kicking the family out. Mostly, I don’t have the resources to man the castle and keep the interlopers (aka Gerry, Hannah & Max) at bay. So I’m taking over my corner of the basement.
Wishes on the Wind
I felt embarrassed at how incapacitated I was, and I had to admit to her that it was my own fault for scarfing a biscuit in less time than it takes to turn on my windshield wiper. She understood.
