I read an interesting Op-Ed piece in the Richmond Times-Dispatch this morning. It's by Barton Hinkle, and it's about hobbies in this troubled time. It made a lot of sense. Attached is the link to the online version.

Over the last few months, I've been searching for creative outlets, and this piece explains a lot. By the way, the knitting's coming a long. (I've pulled it out twice and started over, but I'm determined to finish the scarf before spring.)

Enjoy your past-times, and don't forget to vote today!
