Two topics revisited
At lunch yesterday, a friend mentioned that Orson Scott Card is not only a science fiction writer but also a serious writer about topical subjects. (Which isn't to suggest that science fiction isn't serious, of course, witness both the Ender Wiggin and Alvin Maker series.) It turns out that Card's columns appear in various newspapers around the country - around the web, anyway - and on his own website, The Ornery American. There I found recent pieces on the lives and deaths of Terri Schiavo and the Pope. Well worth reading. Not surprisingly, both are acerbic and funny as well as detailed, thoughtful and very interesting.

Thank you all for the warm welcome and comments. The camaraderie of the knitting community is truly wonderful. Maybe the many RAOKs is part of the reason for knitting's huge popularity right now! Anyway, thanks again! "See" you all later....
