Hopefully being a standby inspector for tomorrow’s election will be a good chance to get some more work done.  If not, it will be a good chance to be a poll inspector, which will also be great.

Also, I finally broke down and bought myself a knitting machine Sunday morning.  I think it barely counts as such – one of the cheap Ultimate Sweater Machines from Jo-Ann.  I’m curious to see what it’s capable of.
