Evil Elf, etc.

Do you have an Evil Elf living in your house? There's definitely one here, and I wish he'd go back home. I went through everything in my knitting-stash cabinet yesterday looking for a particular baby sweater pattern. I e-mailed some knitters asking for help to get another copy. This afternoon, I was looking in the cabinet for needles, and there, right on top, was that DAMNED pattern! I just HATE it when that happens. One of these days I'm gonna catch that obnoxious Elf (and hope it doesn't take until Xmas).

Kids are so DAMNED creative! Go to the Google home page. Under the search window, there may a line that says "Over 16,000 children drew doodles for Google's homepage. Vote for the one that will appear here." There are 10 finalists from each of four different grade groups, and you can vote for one in each group. They are incredible! Be sure to vote, if you can find the link.

John turned on the NBA playoff tonight, and there was a promo ad for the WNBA. The spokesperson was Candace Parker! This young woman is SO hot! She had not yet played a regular WNBA game, and is already filming ads. We wish her all the best.

To seek: to embrace the questions, be wary of answers. -Terry Tempest Williams, naturalist and author (b. 1955)
