What? I have a blog?
Contrary to the privately expressed concerns of TW readers who fall into the category of “lurkers,” I continue to walk amongst you in my usual shadowy, stick-to-the-peripheral way. In other words, I see you. I feel your deep angst and concern. I don’t care.
Well, I care a little.
I care more about my job – which I love, but like most objects of affection can become a monster from time to time, requiring unwavering focus and soothing discipline.
I care more about creating things with dye, fabric, wax and thread. I care more about knitting – as in, must knit every single day. And, as this bitter spring refuses to cough-up a single spot of daffodil yellow, even scattering snow last night like salt on an open wound, I care more about creating color than I do about writing.
So, if you’re still with me, here is what I would have blogged about, but didn’t, during the past month:
- the color blue
- the wrongness of Timothy Geithner
- the sublime-ness of Michelle Obama
- that kitten in the Sarah McLachlan commercial
- my anti-affair with Che
- a new shoe moratorium
- why I need to go to New Mexico
I know! You feel cheated, and probably a bit surly. Sorry, but I have to run. I just received an email from Senator Al Franken, my coffee cup is empty and I have to order that Japanese knitting book from amazon-japan (and figure out the exchange rate for dollars to yen). Sayonara, grasshoppers.
Well, honey, if your coffee cup is empty, it ain’t my fault!
Glad to see ya, though.
Funny – I woke up thinking about you and your blog this morning!
(But I was imagining you out in the garden instead of blogging. Clearly, my psychic abilities need a bit of polishing.)
ha, ha, ha . . . the garden? You mean those plots of frozen, brown mounds with the miniscule nubbins of green daffs trying their valiant best to pop through? I got nothin’ here but a few brave chionadoxa and a crocii or two. Some garden, sheesh.
But the coffee is delish, thanks to you and the mighty aeropress.
I saw you wishing Dr. Z a happy birthday, and came over to check out your place. It looks very fun. I shall return to read more of your brilliant goodness.
I have an email from Senator Franken too…
Welcome, FF.
That Senator Franken has the largest constituency of any non-seated senator in the country. Not to brag or anything, but I get phone calls from him, too. Imagine!
Thanks, TW.
Just read your Pink Porn post. I found it so worthwhile. Agreed with every single word. Especially the need to fund and address the CAUSES of breast cancer.
