I can hear that whistle blow.

I'm about to go on vacation for a week and a half — via Amtrak :-) Train travel is something I get a bit misty-eyed about — I love it — even with all the attendant delays, cancellations, tiny beds etc. We'll go to Portland for a couple of days, then to the Bay Area for a few more, then home. It's a good trip for someone who's not 100% well, as we're basically going from meal to meal visiting people (we're trying to see 15 sets of people in six days while we're in the Bay Area) and not trying to do anything that requires effort. Well, more effort than digestion.

I've packed up a bunch of knitting — probably too much, but how do you choose?

I've once again started the Secret Yarnination (sweater for Rob), only this time he knows I'm doing it. So far I've made three arms and screwed them all up. I guess it'll be a sweater for a deformed octopus. But it's lovely soft yarn.

Have a wonderful week or two, all! Thanks for all the kind comments on my Drop-Stitch Cardi — I'll be wearing it daily, I'm sure, as I travel.

And now I go back to poring over the Pennsylvania primary results. Er, of course I mean packing...
