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.
