While I Was Away

Well, I haven't actually been away --- I've been running the contests, but I've been away from regular programming.

Firstly, Vicki suggested a solution to the Rickman and Hepburn always win dilemma.  I had actually thought of it, too.  They will both be held out of the contests from now on.  We love them, and we want to knit with/for/next to them, but other people deserve a chance.

Hepburn will be going into the Hall of Fame.  Rickman is already there.

I turned 60 during all this.  I am quite distressed at that.  It is the first age that has bothered me in any way, and it is bothering me in every way.  To the point that I can't even think about it without being overwhelmed.

It snowed here one day.  Really came down, and was just spectacular, but it didn't stick for very long.  

I've been watching a lot of movies lately, mostly my own DVDs that I haven't watched in a while.  "The Hunt for the Wilderpeople,"
"The Visitor," "Enough Said," "Mr. Pip," "You Kill Me," "The Young Visiters," "State of the Union," "The Zookeeper."  Reading a Jim Henson biography and drinking lots of tea.  So many online tea stores sell samples, which means I can try lots of flavors without lots of money.  And still knitting wraps.
