Another night at the studio… the heat here in Charm City is killing me. I have my AC running non-stop… and it is hotter than hell up here on the 4th floor.
I am spending a lot of time here in the studio. It is really nice to come here and get work done. I love having a separate place to work. God! I would trash my tiny rowhome so badly if I was still dyeing at home.
I am hoping to get a little knitting time in soon. Babies are hatching, sock pals are waiting, birthdays are coming. Damn!
I am headed to Cooperstown at the end of the month to see our IRON MAN be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
I am not a native daughter of Charm City… but I love him just the same. There is this hometown pride when you mention Cal.
Cooperstown is my dad’s place. I feel so close to him when I am there. I am so glad that I can share it with the cowboy and D. D loved my dad as if he were his own dad.. so I know he will be happy to go too. I am looking forward to a few days with my family… my mom, brother, sister, cousins, and aunts (and adopted family) will all be there. I am so looking forward to being totally available to my husband and child without the thought of things that need doing.
I am ONLY BRINGING my sockpaloooza pal’s socks with me. No joke. They are the only thing to knit while I am there. I am also going to try to resist the temptation to bring the family on the “Tour de Yarn”.
I did look up a teeny, weeny shop in Cooperstown though….

Non-city people don’t seem to understand that AC counts for naught when you’re high up off the ground. I feel your pain- I’m dying here and the AC is up to 10!

You don’t know this, but I met Cal once. In a Chili’s in Florida. It was Spring training YEARS ago. I was eating with a neighbor of mine and the waiter was another neighbor. But the neighbor I was eating with was a teacher and she wanted an autograph for a student. Neither of us thought to get one for ourselves.
Anyway, he was sweet when I totally interrupted his dinner. And DAMN, he has the best eyes of any man I’ve ever met, bar none (well, maybe my Duke).

When I lived in Fells Point - I had the third floor… it was hotter than hell!! I used to turn my air conditioner up so high - ice would form on the unit - but it never seemed to get any cooler. I totally feel your pain!!

Good luck with the project monogamy!

On these super hot days I’ll bet you wish you were in a dark, cool basement… otherwise not so much. Cooperstown sounds like a blast and it’s someplace that my family would definately visit in that area. It’s been hot here too, but the ac is cranked up to compensate.
Good luck with the sockapalooza socks!
