The Purple Sweater

It only took approximately SEVEN years to get this done. Here it is at long last. I started this cardigan and bought the wool when I was in Oxford. It then went to Iowa, where some progress was made during the PhD. It moved again to Kansas, where more progress was made. Last summer I was on a push to finish this sweater before the cold weather set in. Then I moved again and all the sweater was missing was the zipper. That finally got put in the weekend before Thanksgiving.

Adventure at Sea Level

Yes, the first post on the new blog is about Thanksgiving back home.

There was hiking and climbing. Who knew there was so much topographic relief in OK.


There was Thanksgiving cooking and eating and picture taking with the turkey and post dinner mania.


And there was a trip to the zoo. Red pandas might be the cutest thing ever.


And to top it all off... OU beat OSU! Big 12 championship next weekend. OU vs Nebraska one last game. Go Big Red!
