Me: Okay. The music is getting louder. It’s time for us to have a conversation. My sister: What is it? Me: If everyone around us starts to dance, are you going to join them? My sister: No. I’m not. Me: Good. Because me neither. Do you see that lady over there? Have you ever done [...]

I was released from physical therapy in January, so I started training again. That’s when I scored three stress fractures [...]

SO, I went downstairs, found four skeins of yarn that will work, drove to the yarn store, purchased three more skeins, and here we go. Impulse knitting! Jeff left town yesterday for Florida, so I arranged for [...]
