Back in California

If it wasn't so expensive I probably ought to have bought a house out here.

Back in Central Valley CA (Merced, Modesto, Fresno, Stockton). It's becoming all too familiar.

On my way out I tried something new... going public with my knitting. I have knit coasters, but Rose challenged me to go another step, "Kick it up a notch" (for all you Emeril fans). SOO I have been knitting me a hat. And quite fortunate, because the central valley has been quite cool this week. I figured if I finished it I could put it to use when I climb the antenna later in the trip. It's warming up, but hat is still good for night walking.

On my second flight I finally pulled out my knitting needles and went to work on it. No questions from anyone, but I could see my neighbor keep looking over. Finally, he put his newspaper down and asked me, "I've got to ask, how did you start into that?" My answer..."My wife".

I stayed up late last night to finish it.... and if I was able to upload my camera phones pictures I'd be showing you a picture right now, but ya'll will have to wait.
