About a month ago I purchased some art work - a set of stencils, from a young artist named Cody Blomberg. I had never purchased original art like this before and it was pretty modern looking so of course I was a bit nervous. But I loved the subject of the stencils, and I loved the texture of the pieces.  Cody had give me a slip of paper that had the instructions that the stencils represent - How to tie a Windsor knot. Figure 9-46. Tying a Windsor knot. Start with the wide end on the right side about 12 inches longer than the narrow end.  Make a loop then bring the wide end around and behind as shown.

The 7:30 flight was oversold, and they were offering $$ to give it up, but I was holding on, I was ready to be home. We arrived at the airport about 2;15, too late to get on the 2:30 flight, or so we thought. The 2:30 was delayed till 2:45, so I asked to move up to the earlier flight and so did CF (Cycling Fan), CF and I even were able to sit together and mock the Air Mall for the full 45 minutes. I never realized ...

I used Google Docs to whittle down the movies on my "to watch" list. This post will just summarize the choices that I have made thus far. It is subject to change. If you want to see a specific movie with me, let me know ASAP, so I don't get all crazy and decide to go to a different movie. These are in order by day.
