I’m not sure if we’re at a plateau, a cancer backslide, or if it’s just the cold, but for a few weeks Gerry’s been having a hard time dealing with his pain. His back pain has returned, along with substantial hip and rib pain. Obviously the cold is getting to him, but it’s more than…

I knit weird and I enjoy showing others how to find the joy and intuitiveness within their OWN knitting!
We don't knit to make THINGS, we knit to make OURSELVES HAPPY!
Ode To Joy
Today was Max’s band concert at his elementary school, the 5th & 6th grades. Max is playing the bells in the back, this is his first year in band and I think he’s going to be a band-camp kind of guy. He loves it, and I was amazed at how well these kids play with…

Teaching
I miss teaching. It’s been a few weeks – month? – since I’ve taught a class. I miss it when I don’t (and, like cooling hot chocolate, I develop a sort of skin – a barrier – that makes me fearful of jumping back into the teaching again. Hard to explain…) Anyway, last night my…

Calling In Gay
Hey Folks, No blog today, I’m calling in gay! (I’m straight, don’t get any ideas, but I have a gay-pass for today) I’m sick about the inability of some fundamentalist folks to recognize that marriage is a CONTRACT. If you want to make it a sacrament, please do so with the help of your local…
Think Globally, Buy Locally (and Independently, too…)
I’m trying to get across to the kids this holiday season that it’s best for us to support the stores in our community, because those stores are the ones that employ their friend’s parents, and other friend’s parents work at businesses that are supported by the local stores. We’re very lucky that we live in…
