In the Blue Zone

Now and then I read an article with a title like "How to Retire Rich." As these articles tell it, the secret is to start early and save consistently, don't think about it too much, and next thing you know it will add up to real money. Leaving finances aside for the moment, I'm finding this to be true of spinning, even when the gorgeous Blue Moon merino that I bought from Amy insists that it wants to be laceweight — maybe a light sock weight by the time it's plied. I joined Carole's Ten Minutes a Day spinning group, and, while I'm not nearly as productive as she is, it's working.



Of course Wendy deserves some of the credit too. When I have her humming along to Mozart's third Prussian quartet, surely the most beautiful piece of music ever written, it's easy to lose track of time.
