Sharing Thanks
Late in the summer we put out a call for handknit cowls for the September Casting for Recovery weekend. They came in, the weekend happened, and Thank You Notes came back. Yes, we probably should have blogged about them before November, but a Thank You is always appreciated, and these need to be shared! "Thank you for the wonderful hand knit neck gators.

Allow us to get a bit brag-ish about Sue's brother Alex, who is a prof at UCLA and director of the Center for Climate Science. He had this great interview this week on radio KCRW. We link it here, and encourage you to check it out.
