Tuesday's Child
Sketching is an old habit of mine. Even when I leave a story behind for a while, the characters refuse to stay put. They find the back door, walk right in and visit. They are not to be forgotten. This Tuesday, a new project is officially launched. More on that soon. And while I explore the territory, I welcome visitors from the past.
Recommended Reading: The Mathematician's Shiva
I look back at my life as others are want to do when the end is in sight. People commonly express regret. But when I look back I see the beauty of what I've witnessed and done. That's what I have told people who ask for advice through the years. Focus on what's beautiful and pursue that beauty. We are not perfect vessels, certainly. I am not an exception. But I have no regrets. The love I have given and revered has been pure. Driven by loss, I have used the gift of intellect I possessed and lived my life fully. I am wholly proud of my life and my accomplishments.

Rhinebeck Report 2014
There's something special about a fair. We all know that, right? But have you ever wondered about a sheep and wool festival? My cousin Janet and I recently returned from the 2014 New York State Sheep and Wool Festival, also know as Rhinebeck. Go to the Fair, my essay about our adventure there, complete with photos, is available on the Lion Brand Yarn Company website.
