Another lesson in "when spell check doesn’t work." I am employed in the field of nonprofit social services. A newer to the field co-worker came into my office and asked me which is the correct term – nonprofit or not-for-profit. I typed in both to see which would look better in her grant application and accidentally came up with a new fund raising idea "pot-for-profit." Don’t ask me where that came from the "p" is nowhere near the "n" on the keyboard.
Must have been that Eric Clapton concert again. I was talking to another co-worker who was at the same event. The people sitting next to her were a couple with their 10 or 11 year old son. The entire concert, the mom and dad were smoking pot. The times, they are a changing. Wrong show. I was at that one, too and the air was thick with purple haze. It was very interesting, the average age at the Clapton concert was over 50.
Here is my completed Irish Hiking Scarf, the one that was almost abducted while we attended the concert. It’s made with Elsebeth Lavold Angora in Aubergine. The longer you fiddle with this yarn, the softer it gets. An aran weight, it’s a quick knit. Elann has it reasonably priced and I bought enough for a sweater. I’m looking for a shawl collared cable design like this one at Patternworks, but they charge $9 to mail to Canada. I’ve got plenty of time, I still have to finish Marina. I’m now onto the sleeves so it shouldn’t be too many more years.
