Weather: beautiful and summery. The nights are cooler now, and I got out the wool blanket already. I like this time of year, expect for the bitty feeling of impending gloom.

Reading: knitting books. I'm going to photocopy relevant parts because none of the ones I have checked out from the library seem to me to be worth actually buying. Fair use: I'll only take a maximum of about four pages from any one.

Here is a true saying that my husband found and sent along to me. He found it on a blog.

How about this guy's motto:

"Being a good writer is 3% talent, 97% not being distracted by the Internet."
