Hey! Guess what? I finished that damn sweater. I’m knitting another cardigan at the moment for a coworker. But next up for me is this baby in a kelly green wool blend. With any luck, I’ll have it done in time for our upcoming visit to the Emerald...

The month of April was dedicated to biking to work in Arizona. I took the challenge with a few coworkers. I ended up riding/taking the light rail some 533 miles. (Some will argue that the light rail miles are cheating. I am not on the highway and I wasn’t a...
