No April Fool's Here

Health Care for all, but not all for Health Care
We have seen an historic event happen this week, the victory for all of us with the passing of the Health Care Reform over the weekend. However, apparently this was not something that some of the citizens of this land were excited about. In fact, they were so not...
In search of "unbridled, gleeful joy"…
My Bodacious Leader has again posed a question to all those in pursuit of becoming bodacious, "What activity that I do (or did, or want to do) gives me unbridled, gleeful joy? What's my "thing?" Miss Janey goes even further and compels us not to be shy or embarrassed,...
The Dawn of Real Reform
After a Herculean Effort, President Obama saw the passage of the Comprehensive Health Care Reform bill by Congress late last night. Reforms that will see coverage expand for millions of Americans who currently are uninsured or under-insured, Republican and Democrat...
Welcome Daylight Savings Time
My friend, StevoFC, has been doing a MacroMonday Theme on his blog. This was my sunset tonight, at 19:45. While I am struggling with the time change to daylight savings time, I surely like the later lightness of the day. Spring is coming! DSCF1694a Originally uploaded...
Sichuan Pork Noodles

A Farewell to Interweave Knits…

The Bohemian Grove Theory
The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently - Friedrich Nietzsche I have the distinct pleasure, or misfortune as it may be, of being an acquaintance of an actual card-carrying...
To "tink" or not to "tink," that is the question…
It has been a day of progression, learning, and letting go. I have always told myself I am a process knitter rather than a product knitter, and today I learned that that is most certainly true. I cast on for this sweater some two years ago or so. I painstakingly knit,...

The Exercise of Poor Judgment
I was talking to a friend last night and was lamenting the fact that I did not know what I was going to blog about today. Well, thanks to NPR, this gem crossed my path this morning! I was on Facebook this morning and I saw this link on my wall so I clicked the link to...
A Radical Departure
I have read some blogs recently and heard some "social-net" chatter the past couple of days all about the Olympics, and specifically Figure Skating. I, however, wanted to depart from the Figure Skating discussion to share my excitement about the incredible contingency...
The Kat's Out of the Bag…
"Always end the name of your child with a vowel, so that when you yell the name will carry." Bill Cosby Apparently, being bodacious began for me at a very early age, because Bill Cosby's quote fit perfectly for my growing up years! Either that or I had that common...
Almost Wordless Wednesday
Excess in moderation, unless Nutella is involved....
