Marathon Monday

I will not run for the fun of it today. But in Boston many others are. Today is Marathon Monday otherwise known as Patriots day. (Patriots day is a convienent excuse to close the schools, I mean.. have ou ever heard of Partiots day anywhere else?)
I have been hiding out for the last couple of weeks.

My punkin has been sick and belagered with many wedding things. I have been using my weekends to spend time with her and go for car trips and stuff… You know.

So I have gotten a little behind in my weekend knitting rituals. I miss my groups and podcast too. Next weekend I go to D.C. for a family gathering.

I promise to get a show out for next weekend. But then I will probably go to a bi-weekly schedule until I can get myself situated again.

I have been feeling guilty about my little absence. I have been enjoying the all the responses to the last couple of episodes and have wanted to talk to you all about them. Perhaps in the near future I will have to start the idea of seasons or getting some guest hosts to do some episodes. I would like to keep the show more weekly, but I am just one… and you are so many knitters.. :)

Ok, must get back to the new job. BTW – I am very happy at my new job.

    Hey Guido!

    You should take time, as much as needed, to enjoy the wedding preparations. Better to miss a podcast than a punkin…

    Hey Guido,

    Just watched Cat’s video (LetsKnitTogether) of the day in New York City. It was fun to see you and hear your great voice. No worries on the blogging/podcasting front. I know full well how life comes in to take over our time. Our blogs, etc. just need to wait for us to come back around to them. My best to punkin.

    Your hiatus is giving me time to catch up on the prior episodes:-)
    Take care of business, and put us listeners in the queue for attention when you can get to us – we’ll be here when you get back!
