Worst.Game.Evah.

What can I say? No team can win against an opponent that is known for cheating and dirty tricks with blind or incompetent referees.

What I'm reading? The writings of Thomas Paine. I guess I am beginning to take comfort that so much of what he said is applicable to now. So human behavior really hasn't changed much. Does that mean there will be another Revolution? Maybe not in the way of 1776 but I do think there's going to come a time and point where those that really love freedom and have a strong belief that government has just gotten too bloated will seek redress from this overlord. We haven't hit critical mass yet. It's going to have to get a whole lot more painful.

I got quite a bit of work done on MILs lap afghan this weekend. I should make good progress or perhaps finish it during the big road trip. While we were in Miami I stopped by Tropical Yarns and picked up Nancy Bush's Estonian lace book, some beautiful blue-red wool and a nifty clear tote for the upcoming plane trips. Maybe this'll make the security go smoother?

Off to the game

I have to gather the MILs lapghan to take with me. I figure it's 3.5 hours one way so that's 7 I can knit. If the hubby drives. My car. Which he won't the whole time but I should get some good knitting time in anyway. This weeks going to be just nuts. We'll be back briefly then it's off to see the parents for Turkey day. Maybe we can get some Christmas shopping out of the way while we're at it. Not going to spend much either. Heaven knows where this economy is going to go (my guess would be down more) and it just doesn't make much sense to overspend. Never has really and I know my folks don't really want anything. They'd rather us come up and spend time with them, knowing that alone costs plenty, instead of buying them some new socks or a shirt.

I didn't work on the heel today. Just didn't feel like it really. A friend wants to go out tonight so I probably won't work on it then either. I'll have it with me next week and I've put the instructions on my Kindle just in case. Not much else in the hopper presentwise. I never want to be the kind of knitter that constantly inundates people with things I've made. Some may appreciate a little but too much and they probably would resent it.
