The previous owner used to know me by sight, since I came in so often. The classical and Alpine/Swiss/Italian folk music had been replaced by smaltzy 70s pop music. Very disheartening to see.

fuzzyboo03 has suggested a US Open Stitchalong, similar to the one they did for the World Cup. I could use the extra incentive. I'm planning on getting some work done on "Garden Verses", although I'm frogging left and right tonight.
