This could be The Way.

Richard Smith's non-medical blogs

This comes from an interview with Kurt Vonnegut. I’ve loved it for 20 years and you might too.

“I work at home, and if I wanted to, I could have a computer right by my bed, and I’d never have to leave it. But I use a typewriter, and afterward I mark up the pages with a pencil. Then I call up this woman named Carol out in Woodstock and say, “Are you still doing typing?” Sure she is, and her husband is trying to track bluebirds out there and not having much luck, and so we chitchat back and forth, and I say, “Okay, I’ll send you the pages.”

Welcome to Orientation::Quilter v.2

This is my first post via WordPress.  So far it’s been really easy to set up, import my blogroll links and choose a “look”.  I’ll have to mess with this more, but that’s it for now.

Lately it’s been so hot that when I grocery shop, if I’ve purchased any meat or frozen stuff, I buy a bag of ice, throw it all in the cooler that pretty much lives in my trunk and bring it home.  It arrives nice and cold.  THis time of year the ice is a bonus since I do have that new ice crusher, eh?

The rest of the year the cooler helps keeps things from freezing.  All balances out in the end I suppose.
