once more into the breach, dear friends
June 21, 2012
Two quick announcements:
* For those in the area (or anticipating being in the area), I'll be signing books (and, perhaps, musing upon lobsters) at Over the Rainbow Yarns in Rockland, ME, on Saturday, June 30 at 2p.m. All are welcome.
* There's a kerfuffle about the USOC and Ravelry that has grown to absurd proportions. I just don't even know how to begin. Fortunately, Kay Explains It All For You. And I will totally be knitting at pair of socks for Colbert.
In other news, at 11:40 this morning, my kids will officially be on summer break.*
If yesterday (also a half day) is any indication, this will be a long summer indeed. It has been nice knowing you all. Think of me fondly.
* Please don't do what everyone else does, which is point out that they go awfully late into the summer. I know. There are Very Good Reasons for this, allegedly. But, yes, it is almost July before the school year ends in these parts.
I, for one, long for New England school year. These (dang) kids get out so early here ... (Then again - it still baffles me when they start in mid-August.)

I love the New Englandy school year. Our kids don't go back until well after Labor Day. Sadly, my college academic year starts again in mid-August, which makes logistics kinda crazy for a few weeks at the end of the summer.
