Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge from the Manhattan Bridge
One of the BEST things we did in New York was take the Gray Line Night Loop tour of Manhattan. We totally lucked out by getting an amazing tour guide; he was a school teacher from Brooklyn who does evening tours on the open-air double-decker bus. [...]

I just finished writing up the pattern for this little bag made with one skein of Koigu KPPPM. Isn’t it cute?
It was inspired by the pattern Exploring Stripes from IK Winter 02/03 that I wrote about here; I wanted to find a way to make the beads spiral down the sides of [...]
I pulled my car into the driveway near sunset and these Jupiter’s Beard were glowing from the backlighting. It was all over within a couple of minutes but WOW—they were amazing at just that moment.
*Which beats the HELL out of root canal Thursday, I’ll tell you.

Les Paul at the Iridium Jazz Club, New York City
In what can only be described as a brush with greatness, as well as an opportunity of a lifetime (pardon the cliches, but I’m otherwise at a loss for words–heh) my DS and I spent a couple of hours last Monday night truly basking [...]
So, it was my birthday a week ago, and Margene gave me this–

On the same day my oldest turned 20, my youngest graduated from high school. The school he attended, and where I teach, is not your typical high school. Like our “Open Mic” event, anyone who wants to speak at graduation, may. My son didn’t want to speak, per se; he [...]
My first born baby boy is twenty years old today.
This is a self-portrait he did in his drawing fundamentals class. It was his first assignment; required, I believe, to get a feel for the students’ abilities.
It is uncannily like William, drawn from his reflection in the mirror.
Artist, computer scientist, math whiz, hyperlexic, animal lover, [...]
So yesterday I attended my godson’s graduation from Murray High School. My son and I sat halfway up the oval at the far end in what was basically a gymnasium made over for a graduation of 400 or so high school seniors. Good thing I had my knitting; it was destined to be [...]
Current Mood: PlayfulKnitmd has started a Ravelry group to get Bob elected in 2008. Here are my attempts at some campaign materials (click to enlarge):
Though they are reminiscent of my Stewart/Colbert work,
I still think they show off Bob’s good side. Whaddya think?
