The Pomona Quilt-A-Long wrapped up yesterday, and a great time was had by all. I'm exhausted. It was great meeting everyone and putting a face to people's screen names in the hotcomm quilting room: Thimbellina, patches_uk, Singer, needles_CA, sew_chic, etc.

Good news for those who decided to go to Anaheim this weekend and couldn't make it to the "real deal event" in Pomona. The "Sew/Design & Profit Seminars and Workshops" is scheduled for April 22, 23 and 24 at the Holiday Inn Select at Diamond Bar, CA. They've got a special room rate of $84 (includes a free continental breakfast). Early bird registration packages end March 31st, so get on the stick and register today at (www.collinspub.com). We will not be going.



I really am exhausted. Not much difference between a sewing show and an AARP convention. It was a sea of blue hairs, purple hairs, no hairs, wheelchairs and walkers with tennis balls on the front legs. Worst of all were the morbidly obese women in the Lark Mobility Scooters. Those grandmas are reckless. They definitely need to come equiped with wide load warning signs and a beeping sound when they back up.

I haven't had the energy to do much with the markets the past few days. Only thing I've really done is just check out other blogs. Lots of nice blogs out there with a lot of nice features. Blogger seems to be one of the suckier blogs with very minimal add-ons and stuff available. I've added a few things on the side, if you haven't noticed, including the Shout Box this morning. I see "g" has spammed his site already. Thanks, g. I guess in lieu of playing around with my charts, I've been playing around with the blog. Don't know if I'll keep the bells and whistles, but let's try them out.

One thing I've been meaning to do for awhile is add some links. This template doesn't come with a links section so I had to figure out how to write it into the html. I did that a couple days back. Now just have to summon the strength to write in the actual links. I'll get to it.

On the bottom, there's a "Blogshares" link. It's a website where you can buy and sell shares in your own blog and other blogs. I guess it's just a timekilling game to accumulate fake wealth and build up fake self-esteem, sorta like what some folks are doing in WCCI. I signed up and claimed this blog because I thought other people had the ability to "claim" someone else's blog as their own, but that's not true. Not that it would matter, but hey, what's mine is mine. So, FWIW, I own 2000 shares in "A Daytrader's Diary" (40% of the float) and the value has risen from B$.20 to B$5.19. Whee! Now what should I do? I don't know. I better study the daily CCI chart later.


My grandmother passed away six years ago on March 10th. Time really flies. Nobody had the time to be bothered for a get together on the 10th, so we're doing it today. We're off to the cemetary now, then we'll have the traditional all you can eat buffet to follow. I don't know if this is the way you wanted it, Grandma, but this is our family, so I guess you wouldn't be too shocked.


I'll be back later to talk about the good stuff I'm messing around with like the godly erGODic and drbob's stuff and camarilla pivots. Cya.
