I picked up my knitting again (finished Earl Grey and starting ... http://www.hizknits.com/2008/07/12/sleeping-on-the-blog/ not a lot going on ’round the ol’ hizknits here. ever since the return from vacation work has been eating up all of my mental energy. sorry that I’ve been selfish and not wanting to burden y’all with my whining.

Sadly, our paths probably won’t cross… unless he defects and remains in Germany. Thanks for the tip, Joe! (and belated happy birthday!) http://www.hizknits.com/2008/05/12/wg-in-berlin/ Getting ready for the trip, we enjoyed a German breakfast of bread and cheese this morning.
