There is only one game.

Regarding my buddy Susan's (the former Harvard undergraduate) comment: you can always leave it to Harvard people to bust your chops. Turns out she's right. I stand corrected. But conceptually, I think the idea of "The Big Game" remains unsullied and essentially true. And you all know I never was much of a details person... Sigh.

You can be excused for this, not actually being a Harvard student, but Alex needs to learn better. Cal-Stanford is "The Big Game", but Harvard-Yale is "The Game". Learn to keep it straight, and maybe Matt will reward you by teaching you some of the (really, really lewd) fight songs he learned in the Harvard Band. Ellen!

Awwwwww; great pic! 2. Zeno, with the tongue-tip, and the curled paw. (again.) Ok, is this cat an habitual plotter, or what? (And I note I seem to have some carryover influence from having watched Clue on DVD last night - for the first time. Yes, I'm pop culturally lacking. There were few movies for years; Netflix is catching me up, hee.) 2. Eeep! ::thud:: 3. Hope rises... 4. ...to the depths of despair. Flying, hell, we're yo-yoing!. 5. Mmmmmmm...chocolate-dipped strawberries. Where's the champagne? 'Cause you deserve it! Congrats, and looking forward to photos! Reactions, in order:

Icarus is beautiful. And Zeno? I bet he knows guys who know guys. Kudos to you, Ellen, for not only finishing but overcoming looming disaster and ending up with a better result!

It's now a "design enhancement" - or as Zeno would say when he runs SMACK! into a window: "I meant to do that!" It's beautiful, and exactly as it should be!

I think we can officially consider this yarn supply "disaster" a serendipitous, surprise success. He's blocking right now, so you can see the finished product on Wednesday...
