Seattle knitters guild meeting
Tweet Yesterday evening I went to the monthly Seattle Knitters Guild meeting. This month they were giving two talks. One about knitter’s health – how to avoid muscle strain and that sort of thing. It was great. I learned a bunch of new stretches that will not only keep me from cramping while knitting, but [...]
I was a bit busy this weekend
Tweet Aside from finding a free app for my droid that will let me post to my blog and seeing Sherlock Holmes, this weekend was a busy. Before I left for Christmas I stopped by Goodwill to see if I could find a cheap book to read on the flight back east. I always do [...]
Brooklyn Tweed in Seattle?
Tweet Why yes, Brooklyn Tweed aka Jared Flood was and still is here in Seattle. At least for a few more days anyways. I was fortunate enough to be able to see him speak thanks to the Seattle Knitters Guild. He was great. Just the nicest, coolest guy. I wish I had a ton more [...]

Jen – I blame you
Tweet Jen, you know I love you, but I blame you for Kink. I came home from swimming and started to run a bath. Because, quite frankly I’m a bit chilled after swimming, so a hot bath does the body good. I get in the bath and that’s when Jimbo and Kink come in. My [...]
First run
Tweet This morning was the first day of training for the marathon. I didn’t really run so much as walk with two friends. Hopefully on Thursday I’ll be running. I think we decided to walk because we weren’t sure we could keep up the running pace. Tomorrow after work, I’m heading to the pool to [...]
It's done. I'm signed up for the Seattle Half Marathon
Tweet There’s no backing out now. I’m actually pretty excited about it and I’m hoping that the excitement will last the 8 weeks it will take to train for it and run it. Dad, I may need a few things from Goldstocks Do they sell those sneakers with the wheels hidden in the soles [...]
Could someone tell me why my cat is so strange
Tweet This is the way my cat feels the need to sleep. Yeah… it’s sick. She’s constantly showing her “goods” to anyone and everyone who might be visiting or looking in my windows. i think she might be running some sort of kitty peep show while I’m at work. There’s a lot of cats in [...]
