Projects

I'm not very good with my hands, for the most part, but I do know how to knit. A few months ago I started a little project: a scarf for my husband, with a soft grey yarn and a cool parallelogram pattern. Though I don't work on it very often, it has been fun to see it grow inch by inch. I love having something to stash in my purse and occupy me at odd times, i.e. waiting at the chiropractor's office.

As usual, I am growing something funky in my kitchen. Right now, it's mung bean sprouts (which I plan to use for dinner on Wednesday) and kefir (thank you Beejee). The mung beans I have done before, so I know they will sprout beautifully and taste wonderful. The kefir project is completely new, however, so we'll see how that goes. It will be an adventure, if nothing else.

And finally, I think I'm going to write that Grammar Guide for Adults I've been contemplating for so many years. Apostrophes, comma splices, "every day" versus "everyday" . . . all the compositional errors that make me bang my head on the nearest hard object and despair of our nation's future. :)

Any requests on issues to address? Those pesky semicolons, perhaps? Email me or leave a comment, and I promise to include a section on that topic.
