Meeting Day

Today was the annual meeting of SWIFT - Spinners and Weavers of Indiana Fibers and Textiles. Lorraine, of course, had to be there. It's essentially a large "spin in", with more wool and spinnings wheels than you can imagine.

She had a blast, and since it was held at Connor Prairie, I got to visit a bit with my good friend Kevyn. He's got a fine yearling Horned Dorset ram that I'd like to stand to my Blackie girls later this year - we just might get something worked out.

I also got a chance to putz about in the city for a bit, a rarity for me, and went window shopping at a couple of electronics stores and browsed a used book emporium. The only purchase I made was at the book store: The Definitive Guide to Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials, which shows exactly how far sucked in I've gotten...

All in all, a very pleasant, very spring like day. It's about time.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
