most of the people we hang out with (using the term rather 
loosely since most are not local to us & we don't get together 
often)are much younger than i am. my SO is 14 years younger...
i'm not really comfortable with most people my age & most 
people my age have *grandkids* the age of my son. :p

i'm working on it. Perl will have usable fiber this year. i 
may be able to get usable fiber off DNS, Cisco & Russian if i 
do clips in 2 stages, one to get the mats off & one for fiber.
 i've not been keeping up with clipping because Boo is kinda 
high needs. i can spin, but i'm not terribly good at it yet.

 little girls seem to like romantic-goth styles. like a black 
princess, you know ;) too bad kids fall prey to bad clothing 
marketing (like that Brittney Spears baby **** look).
