Martian in disguise?

Off 'n on sunny here today - 35F (feels like 23F so not that bad) going up so they say to 41F. I've begun looking for our species croci & snow drops but don't see anything yet.

An interesting talk this morning on Speaking of Faith "Robi Damelin is an Israeli who lost her son to a Palestinian sniper; Ali Abu Awwad is a Palestinian who lost his older brother to an Israeli soldier. But in their unlikely friendship and determination, these two defy headlines of despair. They are part of a citizen-led movement to turn pain into hope." to quote the website. http://speakingoffaith.publicradio.org/ I was interested to hear Robi talk about the Presbyterian church's debate re divestiture - but was in & out of the car doing Sun. AM grocery shopping, so will have to see if I can find that particular segment in the transcript. http://speakingoffaith.publicradio.org/programs/2010/no-more/transcript.shtml

Other than that, tootling, toddling, laundry, & vacuuming on the docket for today. Beginning my first top-down sweater, first raglan & first mohair all in one swell foop & struggling with that expletive deleted Dvorak arpeggio. Why couldn't he have written the piece in Eb? It would have been _so_ much easier than that forked fingering in F.* I should always have such problems.
