the Village Knittiot

In 23 minutes I am going to rush out the door of my office, descend eight flights of stairs and run (not walk) into the awaiting arms of my sweetie. After the indescribable pleasure of being scooped up in his arms for the first time in 10 days (aren’t I pathetic?), he’ll be whisking me away to four whole days of work-free bliss in my new hometown. We’ll have the long weekend to explore the city and then I will head back up here for a marathon 4 weeks of working before a much deserved vacation and trip back to the Mother Country (which is my new favorite way to refer to Minnesota where, of course, my mother resides).

Anyway, my best wishes to my American readers for a happy holiday. I could echo the sentiments of every other blogger who has noted this most typical of American holidays that involves more than a few of the 7 deadly sins, but I’ll refrain from pulling out my soapbox and just quote my favorite founding father:

“Moderation in all things — including moderation”

Benjamin Franklin (who, incidentally, founded the Philadelphia Zoo, which is the oldest zoo in the country)
