Quick chirp

Actually, I have a stack of grading to do and I'm procrastinating.  I understand from the internets that this is a fairly common strategy among academics -- linger around the 'Nets, update one's blog, look at Twitter.

The front band for Jupiter is just a couple of inches away from being half done.  That's good news, because usually when I crest the hill and start the downhill march on projects, they tend to go more quickly.  Also, I started the second Staffordshire Mitten and it's zooming right along, or at least it seems to be.  I am trying one of the recommendations for knitting jogless stripes on this second one, and it seems to be better but it's still not perfect.  Do I need perfection?  Not sure.  But a new pair of mittens would be nice.

Oh, hey, I just thought of something... I need to put a chicken in the crock pot.  If I put it on now, it will be finished cooking right around our dinner time.  Ooh!  That's a way to delay having to work on these exams for another ten minutes.  Good idea.
