Random thoughts…

Had to rip out nearly an entire sock yesterday. I’ve managed to finish the toe so far but have a bit of a way to go until I get to the leg area where I dropped a stitch and didn’t notice until it was way to late. Is there anything other than knitting that teaches […]

A Curious Statistical Anomaly is One Lovely Blog

I was thrilled when Velvet of vvb32 reads told me she was naming A Curious Statistical Anomaly as One Lovely Blog. While I put a lot of thought and effort into this blog, I don’t often get a lot of feedback and it was nice to know someone (other than family) thought is was worth […]

Spring has sprung…

“It’s spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you’ve got it, you want – oh, you don’t quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!” – Mark Twain. I love that quote and it really speaks to the […]

Looks like the Earth did move…

A NASA report says that the Chilean Earthquakee may have shifted the mass balance of our planet. Earth is not a perfect sphere. Continents and oceans are distributed unevenly around the planet.

House cleaning, reading, and raking leaves… again

Today was one of those days that aren’t too bad  if you can ignore the constant ringing in the ears.  Yesterday, I managed to catch up on a lot of data entry and finished a project.  So, that meant today I could try to get some reading in — the truth is if you don’t […]
