Continue reading →: Sunday Seven’s Saturday Edition of Outlander 302Written by the wonderful Anne Kenney, “Surrender” was everything one could hope for. And more. Well, maybe not everything if you were looking for an exact repetition of the book, or took exception to the brown tam not hiding the red hair, or whatever other nitpick you had. Yeah, this…

Continue reading →: Outlander Is Back! And I Have Thoughts.Seven of them! In an effort to try to become somewhat disciplined with my writing, I’m reinstating my Sunday Seven. And what better way than to discuss Outlander? Sure, my posts will be a week late. But that’s okay. By this time, all the reviews have been written, the podcasts…

Continue reading →: Love Is a Funny ThingSometimes, if we’re lucky, love conks us over the head. Oftentimes it is elusive. And sometimes it sneaks up on us when we’re not looking. Shadow came into my life for all the wrong reasons. I chose him sight unseen as a playmate for Kimmi (which of course didn’t work),…

It appears I may fail the Ravellenic Games. Not an Epic!Fail, as the crash of Sergio Henao (Columbia) and Vincenzo Nibali (Italy) in the Olympic cycling men’s road race. The two cyclists, in a lead group of three riders, crashed in the late stages of the race during the mountain…

Continue reading →: Let the Games Begin!The Ravellenic Games, that is. As in Ravelry, the world’s most incredible database of all things yarn and fiber. The idea is to knit, crochet, weave or spin your way through the Olympics. You cannot (or rather could not, as the time is in the past) start your project until…

My knitting heart is officially broken. My favorite local yarn shop (acronym LYS) is closing. The owner is retiring, and rather than sell the shop and its merchandise, she’s closing the store towards the end of August. I. Am. Devastated. There are two local yarn shops I semi-routinely visit, fibre…
