Still alive
A quick Friday post to let you all know I’m still around and still alive.
Work is still hectic. Still only two of us qualified to close the kitchen, and while I’m not getting much overtime, I’m still pulling 9-10 hour shifts and folks seem to think that late night pizzas are the way to go.
Life is a bit quieter, but only because I’m only getting a single day off each week and don’t have time to dwell on how crappy my life is… 
Back to work on the little sweater. Most of one sleeve finished. One more to go and then the collar and we’re done. I’ll see if I can get some pictures later.
Harold McGee is a food scientist who wrote one of the most intriguing books about food — “On Food & Cooking: The Science & Lore of the Kitchen”. He also has a column in the New York Times that also dwells on the science of food. His latest article looks at The Five Second Rule. You remember the rule, right? If a piece of food drops on the floor and you pick it up in less than 5 seconds, it’s safe to eat. 
(If you don’t have a New York Times login, you can use BugMeNot for some usable username/password combinations).
Later….

Just wanted to THANK YOU for knitting your multidirectional scarf a while back. I loved the way yours looked and so I put it on my to-do list. A class came up at my LYS and I took it last Saturday. It’s now Thursday and I have completed one (a 6.5 footer!)and started another. I’m hooked and I never would have signed up if I hadn’t seen yours! Thanks Bud!
