Midlo Weekend Update



CAVN made it back into the rotation Friday night when I cast on with new needles and Karabella's Aurora Bulky.

I finished the right side seam and arm and started on the left. It's moving quickly! My goal is to wear it when SD and I go to see Compromise at the Firehouse Theatre on March 11.

Our non-knitting activities included a visit to Lewis Ginter. We looked forward to the new train display, which was very, very low key. Ann -- I had visions of knit dates while the kids frolic in the play area. What do you think?

Oh, and here's a news flash: Bears bite! I guess the idiots visiting Maymont did not see Grizzly Man. Liz -- No more "bear hunts" for preschoolers at Bon View. Very said, as those were very fond memories.

Name your date Mo! I'll be at Lewis Ginter! I won't be at KG this Wednesday since I have an appointment to look at cabinets (yeah!), but feel free to stop by Good Stuff ...

As far as the bear thing goes, it's amazing how many people are furious about this but will sit down to a plate of animal carnage at almost every meal. The bears being put down is very sad, tragic, and horrible, but at least there was an ostensible reason (possible rabies) other than "I was hungry and didn't feel like beans ..." We kill animals every day for food, clothing, cosmetics, etc. The whole stone throwing/glass house thing really gets me ...

Ann, I hear what you're saying. I was sad about the situation, but furious about Doug Wilder's comments. Where was he after New Years Day?

This whole thing is crazy. It seems to me like the Maymont folks made a well-meaning but awfully rash decision. The bears were are treasure, and those parents were dopes.
