(Been a while--not that a ton of you are reading this anyway, but this is a good exercise for me and I have fun, so who cares.) Making: the same blanket I've been working on for almost a year; a Clapotis in Cascade 220 Superwash, in a now-discontinued colorway called Roses…
I'm Texan and I *really* want him to be my senator.

I know the world is nuts right now, but you know what, there is some good news, too.
So I'm in an online community that raised money to open the Maternal Center of Excellence in Sierra Leone, in west Africa, which among other things has the nation's first ever NICU(!). The Center opened recently and I'm happy to report that the first baby was delivered there today, a girl.

I have not met you before but it’s an instant follow for me
I wanna go to bug camp...

the Washington Post layoffs are awful in every regard. I am under no pretense that Trump-glazing collateral damage was intended as an intelligent biz decision. However, I want to address closing its sports desk.
If you want to do journalism that gets eyeballs, sports is the LAST desk to close.
An 11-year-old girl from Columbia Heights remains in ICE detention at the Dilley, Texas facility — where measles cases have been reported — sparking concern among family, community members and advocates.
happy birthday--may your Jesus Year be a lot less, um, dramatic than his was
Take away from me the noise of your songs;
I will not listen to the melody of your harps.
