New pattern books have been rolling in this week:

and so my head is filled with all kinds of wonderful new ideas…..

But

We leave for Tucson tomorrow.  Everything is packed, including the knitting.  I seriously contemplated taking the portable computer but it is not the lightest and sleekest, weighing in at 5 pounds.  Oh I dream of one of those light babies, 2 1/2 to 3 pounds.  Of course that still doesn’t help withe 4 pounds of work I would feel obligated to drag along to justify bringing the computer. 

Increasingly I hate carrying or dragging anything.  Even if I check the damn thing, and I have done so since no computer is worth my lugging it around all day, I still have to get it to and from car to airport and back.  Not me.  Increasingly I feel I must make my way through life as unencumbered as possible.  Difficult, as I like my stuff, and I like options.

I will not be plaguing you with photos of works in progress or tempting you with photos of the desert, mountains, or lovely sunsets. 

Until next week.
