I missed Canada Day - I'm an American, but that's really no excuse. Especially when my favorite music group is Barenaked Ladies - God Bless Canada for that :^) And then, I read Miss Harlot's post and was going to be nerdy and point her to Canada's Science side but saw she had 257 comments!… Continue reading July 2

In the spirit of this post and reflecting on my teaching experiences here are some I would add / include - true kids I've met or known.

Matthew Broderick was overacting. It seemed too much like a B'way show. Not like Chicago or Rent - they worked… Continue reading Broadway & Smiling Dogs Rule (no knitting)

THe weather has finally turned so nice! I'm trying to maximize my time outside and in the garden. Also, we've got company coming over on Monday. Shocking, but for today weeding and seeding and composting takes priority over knitting. Momentarily. There may be knitting podcasts listened to during the outdoor work, but I really enjoy… Continue reading Preview
