In which there is little news of knitting

So, I’ll get the knitting news out of the way — I started a square for the Tribute Project.  I have always loved the log cabin motif, so thought I’d try it.  This one may not pass QC, and I’m not sure it’s really going to work.  It’s a start.  I did allow myself a little bit of knitting on the sock, too.

I did a lot of cleaning yesterday — with three cats, a dog, four women doing stuff to their hair all the time, it cannot be put off for too long.

I just about laughed ’til I died last night watching American Masters "Bob Newhart: Unbuttoned" and On Stage at the Kennedy Center: The Mark Twain Prize 2002 (to Bob Newhart, of course).  There was some repetition of clips and whatnot, but honestly, I laughed harder at "Moo Goo Goo Goo" the second time around, anyway; a third might have done me in.  I’m not kidding, I was crying, snot was running, and I was gasping for air!  I love spending an evening knitting and laughing my head off!

Mdd will be home tomorrow, so I’ll be able to hear all about the "cute counsilors" — I’m especially interested in why the Irish one was in all caps and underlined.  With a smiley face, too.

Kt will also be home tomorrow — early, like 5 a.m. — rather than Saturday, as originally planned.  Things didn’t go well in Toronto yesterday, the biggest bummer being that despite email confirmation of a reservation, the hostel had no reservation for them — and no available room.  They did find another, but it cost twice as much, and her friend is a little bummed about the location of the school, and and and…

Gosh, I just don’t see Ai very much anymore…
