Well, we tentatively plan to leave for HC on Thursday after Alan's orthodontist appt. Since the appt. is at 11, this assumes a never-before-attained level of organization on our parts, in the past we've never got out the door before noon. No doubt this will be good for us.

Got my W-2 today, hopefully Alan's will find his way to us. I earned a princely total of $1855 in 2001. Confession time, I am a sick little monkey. I like doing taxes, kinda in the same way I liked putting my tongue on 9 volt batteries as a kid. I have the soul of an accountant, I really do. But would an accountant own a pair of scissors that looks like... THIS? Yes, someone should take the clay away from me. The scissors are the lucky recipient of a failed attempt to produce malachite-looking stuff. Meanwhile, I'm looking at pictures of Renaissance architecture for inspiration for my pin.

Cooooooool. Very nifty stuff with the clay, there. And you just started messing with it? Yeesh, I fear to think what you'll be turning out after a couple of months... ;)

Something I've been meaning to ask you for a while: why the username "botias"? (which in my mind is pronounced "boaty-ass")

Thank you! I was hoping to get an expert opinion. I can't take credit for the techniques or anything. The pocket knife was the little Gerber you got me for Christmas back in the day.
"boaty-ass" *hee* Reminds me of the time the vet thought Tacky's name was 'Toe Kisses'. It's pronouced bow-t-uh(s) The emphasis is on the first syllable. Botia is my favorite genus of aquarium fish. I suppose it really ought to be capitalized, but I'm kinda stuck with it now.
