[imaginary pre-vacation post]

So.. I wrote this post last Wednesday about my upcoming vacation to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and how I was taking yarn for Narcisse, a new toddler-sized cardigan and Icelandic Beauty, a doggy sweater. And sometime during my writing, the net went down & all my writing went *poof* into the ether. And I was too peeved to re-write it. So please imagine a useful post here, posted 6 days ago.
