My mom is the coolest mom ever

[cormac]

This is my mom, getting sloshed at a martini tasting party with my dad on board a ship cruising the British Isles. (I'm just off-screen to your left. And yes, I was the one who brought them to the party.)

My mom is the coolest mom ever, reason #28327:
I went home last weekend (9/10) and she told me she was taking up knitting. We went to Wal-Mart, where she told me to choose a yarn color. I chose two, and she took the yarn.
I go back this past weekend (9/17) and she hands me the coolest scarf ever! 8 ft. long, some 18-20 inches wide. About twice as large as your average scarf, this is the scarf of titans. If Paul Bunyan had a mom as cool as mine, she'd make him this scarf. It can be used as a blanket, it's so big.
I've been showing it to people, and their reactions have been consistent: they want to steal it, they demand to know where I bought it, and when they hear that my mom made it, they all say "You have the coolest mom ever."

Thanks mom.

What, no picture of the scarf? Oh well, we'll all see it eventually.

BTW, I have something for you, an embroidered favor from the West Kingdom. I happened to see it in her booth at Purgatorio and picked it up. I really should have rememberd to give it to you at Heraldry... oh well. We will meet before GWW some time.

Believe me, I'm working on pictures. If I had my digital camera here in Long Beach, pictures would have been posted immediately.
If I don't see you at Collegium, we will definitely see each other at GWW.
