My favorite day of the week. Today's weaving lesson was very productive and revelatory. We discussed different patterns, and the many ways to construct them: by threadind sequence, treadling and tie-up sequence, by using different colors in the weft, and by using different weights of weft yarn. Just scratching the surface, really, but this is a good start for such complex technology and concepts. I am very encouraged!!

It's THAT time. The music is good. All vocal chords are nicely lubricated; perhaps marinated is a better word. Once the first person starts singing along with the iPod it's like watching dominoes fall as the others join in. If there's harmony, it's more like an aural Rube Goldberg Variation. As much a vocal train-wreck as it is, it is also pricelessly entertaining. I love my friends. I love tradition.

These guys are a bunch of ginormous DORKS. It's Dollar Dance time, and my goofball husband decided it was a better idea to dance with the goofball groom. So silly. The next guy in line actually *kissed* Joe, though... after I started the fork against the glass chimes... I'm not sure what *that* means...
