Wish I was Cathyn!
Then my friends would not be (and I would not be) so fat. And I'd have those kickin' Red Elvis shoes!
Dinner tonight (some guests, but I failed to re-iterate the invite. One person said we never ever talked about it.) Starters: Lavosh Pizza, one cheddar and one TJ blue/pear. First: Salad with Fresh herbs (salad mix from farmer's market, herbs from garden, nasturtiums.) TJ's organic buttermilk soup served in a pumpkin, with sour cream and sage leaves for garnish. Main: Pork Loin in Mustard Seeds with Fall veggies (potatoes, parsnips, carrots.) and asparagus dressed in lemon. Dessert: Berries with Whipped cream, chocolate. This was fondue style.
Hmm. Not _that_ bad. I'll give myself three letters: THN! Yeah, that's it, I want to be THN! That leaves him to be a CAY though....

1. Radio Shack has a surprisingly good selection of component parts (resistors, transistors, etc.) and while the staff aren't engineers, they will look up a part NOT in the drawer and find out what store locally has it, then offer to have it transferred over so you can buy it. I am impressed.
2. I'm beginning to think I want to enter a Science Fair. Trifold!
3. Stained glass ideas: Dragon panel, l to r scales etched, painted, soldered. Good curve cutting practice. Hummingbird round. Jack O' Lantern. Arms (of many people.) Finally, a St. Teresa window.
4. I want to barter a vest I can put thermo wire in that still looks good, flat across the bottom, lapelled and pocketed. http://www.gentlemansemporium.com/store/001569.php perhaps.
5. Electro-etch. Practice: Badges. Name plates. Work up to furnishings.
