Life is so damned short. I’m totally cold – my hands, arms, right down my back to my feet. I just heard that Wendy Wasserstein has passed away at Sloan Kettering Cancer center. Her plays figured very significantly in my life – Uncommon Women & Others was the first play I ever directed when I…

I’ve spent most of my time this weekend editing three different projects – all requiring different skill sets, and each one tedious in it’s own way. MEN WHO KNITI’ve been (finally!) getting around to going over the fine profiles that Drew sent me. He’s done such a great job on them, most of what I’m…

I have a pretty good work ethic, but today I’m jet lagged and work is for the birds. Here’s what I’ve done so far (it’s 1:20 my time. I’ll be back to work soon, I promise…) – Got the kids off to bed and went back to bed– Answered and hung up the phone 18…

Perhaps I’m just getting the hang of the air travel thing, or maybe I had a good flight, but it seemed to go by quickly. The flight was actually 1-1/2 hours shorter than the flight out (tailwinds) and I was as comfortable as a long-legged person can be in a short-legged space. Absolutely the BEST…

I love my husband. I lost my cellphone on this trip (my own irresponsibility) and today I had a fender bender (a car swiped the back of my rental as I was pulling out of a parking space and he was pulling into a driveway – probably more my fault than his) and here is…

or, rather, a kid. I’m staying with a friend in LA who has a little girl, and this morning I peeked out of my room as she was standing at the top of the stairs, ready to go down to the kitchen in her ruffled nightgown, yawning and stretching. I didn’t mean to be spying,…

Tonight Potter Craft had a nice get together at Rama, a Thai restaurant near the convention center. It was great to meet a lot of folks I’d just emailed or talked to on the phone before, and even more exciting to meet designers and writers like Fiona Ellis, Cat Bordhi and Jill Moreno & Amy…

I’m SO tired. Tired, tired, tired. My legs and ankles ache, my joints are sore, but I really have a lovely day. I was going to go out to dinner with Mereceds of Knit Nouveau and her husband, but when I got back to my hotel room and saw them turning the bed down, I…

Today was a Dr. Scholls day – I wish. I walked a LOT – got to see a LOT of San Diego (between my hotel and the convention center), helped Artyarns set up their booth, taught my Butter & Jam cardigan class (it went GREAT – what a wonderful experience!) and then took the shuttle…

…and boy are my arms tired. Seriously. Carrying these bags around is hard work. Little did I know that we’d be flying over the moon to get to San Diego, but apparently we took a detour… The plane was delayed because of – stupid people. Um, this is your captain, we’re being delayed because there…
