A few more CAOK gifts heading out the door this week: Left for this week: a chunky, drop stich scarf for a friend in London. If I really get myself in gear, I’ll finish that sweater I started some 14 months ago. I should have never stopped working on that...

For every negative, there is a positive. Isn’t that some fancy law of physics? (Let me tell you what I remember from high school physics: My teacher Mr. Barrett telling me, “You really aren’t the smartest, but you work the hardest.” Gee....

CAOK taggie blankets for a few little friends of mine, paired with one of my favorite line of children’s books. Who couldn’t love a siamese cat who thinks he is a chihuahua? Chihuahuas and chicken blankies. That’s how we roll. ~k...

BJ turned 21 again. We celebrated with some teppanyaki and hilarity — all of which I recorded with my bokeh lens. (How’s that for a weird sentence?) Just another Monday night in Denver, one that ended with a certain someone (Adam) singing Salt N Peppa at...
