we got a review copy, and i decided for once i would actually read a book before writing the review.
it's this guy's memoir--he's a herpetologist--and it was great reading for a 65+ degree day on the deck.
[it also reminded me about how one year i wanted to be a jesus lizard for halloween. how do kids come up with this stuff?]
i recommend it--a good dose of reptilian science with anecdotes that entertain, but make me glad i don't chase snakes for a living.
i am going to knit a sweater.
it will be my first "big" project since matt's mittens [scarves don't count anymore].
i'll post pictures when i'm done, but according to the blogs of myriads of other people who have knitted the same one, it should turn out fine.
it's a hooded cardigan with cables, pretty darn cute i think.
it will be nice to have a project again!
we sent out the pdfs for the sailing brochures yesterday.
i must say, it's a bit of an improvement over last year's.
[take that, mean marketing lady. we don't need you.]
they're trifold brochures, so you have to imagine them folded, but here they are...
this is the front (far right), back (middle) and inside right flap (left)
and here's the inside:
not too shabby, eh?
kind of makes you want to hop on the boat and head out onto lake superior.
and last of all, here's a good pic of yesterday.
reading snakebit after a 23-mile bike ride on our first real summery day.
and i've got a sunburn to prove it--the awesome burnt legs below the bike shorts look. hooray.
[you've got to enjoy those days while you can. today it's gray and like 40 degrees].
