Knitting, Botany, Mycology, Nature, Adventure, and Life... in no particular order.

Teaching Science
There are issues all over the country when it comes to teaching modern scientific theory in science classrooms. Instead of it getting better it may actually be getting worse.
Check out this New York Times article. (Which I got pointed to by a friend through twitter)
I bet these were all the same type of people that railed against Galileo, Newton, and anyone else who has tried to advance science and been outcast from society (at best).
Amazingly, this kind of thing just makes me want to teach High School Biology and fight against the insanity.

Self-Inflicted Knitting Torture
I was being so good for the Christmas holiday! I packed light and was off! My handsome fella and I did the Christmas Day run-around to see everyone. We say his Dad & crew, his Mom and family, and eventually my parents as well. He went back to spend more time with his family and I then stayed with mine.
The next morning I headed down to LI to do Christmas with the Mom’s-side clan. Sweet, a 4 hour-ish car ride to work on the lovely cabled afghan. And as we were getting everything in the car that’s when it hit me, I didn’t have the notebook with the pattern in it. Nooooooo
Turns out that the combination of weening myself down to one project, having had the notebook with another project I wanted to do some charting for, and hurried Christmas morning packing left me with a bag of knitting and no way to execute it. (There was no way I was going to wing it, not after managing the last fix when I made a mistake!)
So can you believe it is now the 28th of December and I have not knit at all starting the 24th (at least). Gadzooks! Then again, I think we all know what I will spend some time doing today!
(Hint: cabled afghan, maybe the pirate hat, winding yarn and swatching for Citron, and maybe working on the chart for the hat for a buddy of mine)
