Where'd *That* Week Go?

So, it turns out it's been a week since I've sent out an update. Who knows why? That's right—it's time for the Boulder County Fair, and I "volunteered" to superintend the surface stitchery department again. The previous supers quit with about two months to go and no judge. Fortunately, my friend in framing Dawn Hunter said if I did it she'd help, and I said if she helped, I'd do it. And thus was born a temporary partnership. Dawn will be taking the department over next year, and she has someone in mind to help her. I guarantee you it is not me.

But that means that every spare minute this past week has been "prepare for the fair" time. Oh, joy. It was fun when I did it with my friend Linda and we both took, like, a week and a half off from work and sat down at the fairgrounds stitching for 10 days. Ahh, good times. (Which is not to say it's not fun with Dawn—we have very similar ... analities ... so we are a good team. But I resigned for a reason—a bunch of reasons, actually—and those reasons still exist.)

But enough about me, because this blog is about Vic. So off I go to summarize this week's challenges and triumphs. Stay tuned!
