The Salt and Pepper Jacket is nearing its end! Hurray! I am ready to get it done so I can go on to other things. I restarted the collar several times Saturday night, trying to get it right. While I knitted, my daughter and I watched a 007 movie–Die Another Day.

It was educational. Really. We have a DVD of Jimmy Neutron in “Jet Fusion.” There are lots of James Bond references in the cartoon (if that is what you call computer generated animation). We had to watch a real James Bond movie so she could make the connections. We always go the extra mile to provide education to our children.

One good thing about writing for money is that it forces me to focus on a project until it is done. Otherwise I would go and start gobs of projects, and put them aside once the initial thrill was over.
