And the Yankeeeeeees Win!

And so this was an exciting game! A bit sloppy at times but Andy and MO really came through and now it is off to the World Series...The World Series! Wednesday night...can't wait!

Clog Heart Socks

I have now gotten orders for 2 of these burgundy clog heart socks and 1 order for custom Checker clog socks as well as a custom pair of fingerless mitts! Can't believe that this is becoming an interesting sideline. My hands have never been so busy.

Dodgers Go Down....Yanks Tonight!

It wasn't to be...Dodgers go down and Phillies are in...Yanks tonight against Angels and could be a Yanks versus Phillies World Series. Not what I wanted but hoping that Yanks make it into the series. Sure would be great to have them clinch it at Yankee Stadium but that would mean that the Angels would win tonight. Don't think I could stand the tension!!!!! Go Yanks.

Origami Season

Today is rainy and a good day to work on the traditional Holiday Card...origami animals...For the last 18 years I have been doing a folded origami animal and sending it out for the holidays. This year is going to be really beautiful and delicate. After a year of knitting every day it is always hard to get into origami. But Origami is a great way to just be into yourself and a very quiet pass time to ponder the things in life. So many levels that everyone should try doing it. Many sites on the web...just google Origami Diagrams.

The Calligrapher's Daughter

I am reading a novel written by my cousin Eugenia Kim, Washington DC. Wonderful book and worth a read...just wonderful.


Eugenia Kim's
The Calligrapher's Daughter follows the trials of a headstrong girl in turn-of-the-century Korea. Love and inter-generational strife operate against the backdrop of the impending Japanese occupation and the shadow of the dying monarchy. The Washington Post writes, "Eugenia Kim's sensitive first novel, which depicts 30 years of Korea's modern history in light of its ancient past, is an illuminating prequel to present-day events. . . . A satisfying excursion into empathetically rendered lives."
