Many of you probably know Mr. LB75Player and have seen the excellent new hobby of his! With his new lathe and some materials he can make a bad-ass pen! I should know! He made me one! He asked me what I wanted, PM'd me the choices, and swiftly got to carving. It is amazing. I wish the pictures could really show how smooth that pen is! I still can't believe he made it.

As a writer I am a lover of pens. And I am so grateful LB took the time to make it for me! THANK YOU LB!

For Christmas I received a pair of Galileo 12x50 binoculars. They are wonderful. I have only been able to star-gaze a few times since unwrapping them due to poor weather conditions and the like, but I have thoroughly enjoyed the times I have been able to peek through them. Of course I have peered at Orion and the Seven Sisters (or Pleiades as Doorgunner uses the technical words), I have also taken some looks at Cassiopeia and her bouncing Hubbs, Cepheus.

No computer or electronic item is ever close to "user friendly" when it comes to my association with it. It may be that I am just not "user friendly"...that is probably more like it. My father is a computer engineer and my mother is very computer savvy. I have no idea where I went wrong. I can read well, speak well, write well, but when I have to set-up new things on the computer, I am lost beyond all comparison. My six year old son can navigate the computer better than I can. THAT'S IT! It SKIPS a generation. That has to be the reason....

So, my semester was full of termoil. I just over-extended myself and didn't work hard enough. That's okay, it happens. But, I checked my grades today and have found that I passed with flying colors on all my courses except Spanish. I got a C. I thought I was actually going to fail the class, so a C is a wonderful bit of information for me! So, I need to celebrate with a little love!

Today is a significant day in my life. It is a day that, years ago, changed my life forever. Today my first born son came into the world. I remember myself as being young, untouchable, and nieve. I was absolutely content managing a record store and had no intention of looking onwards in my life. As a couple, IACO and I were very much living "in the now". When I first realized that I was going to not only create a little being inside my body, but also squeeze one out from the area I had only associated with pleasure at this point, I was devistated. More than devistated: terrified.
