MLK, Jr., Day in the States today, which means that kids get the day off from school to build snow forts in the backyard. Warmer cities have parades in honor of the great Mr. King. Here, we talk a little bit about him while zipping up snow pants.

I've celebrated the holiday by catching some kind of crud that leaves me snotty and exhausted. Some would argue this is my default state. To them I say: Shhhhh.

So, some pictures from the last few days, since I'm all out of pith.

Why it is so hard for me to get much done during the winter:

Apparently all of that fur doesn't, in fact, keep you warm. My laptop, however, is perfect.

I finished a scarf for the Boy. His only request was that it be "green."

Mission accomplished. The yarn is Cascade 220, purchased in Pittsburgh. The stripe is a nameless ball of something grey from the stash. Garter stitch worked lengthwise. And done.

And The Boy couldn't resist snapping a few pixs of his own, once he saw the camera.

The TV stand.

My head.

An image from my nightmares.
