Whine and Cheese

PhoeKnits posted recently about the seeming forced happiness on knit blogs. I keep most of the personal stuff off these pages and I have reasons for that. This space is about knitting and science and news and spinning and writing, stuff that bounces around my head that I want recorded.

Aquarium Day

The next day in Chicago was Aquarium day. We took the blue line into the centre of town from the airport. At least, we tried, there was a section of line closed so everyone was dumped off the train and onto shuttle buses to reach the next train. After some

It's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses
