Some great videos, free from Superior Threads: http://www.superiorthreads.com/videos/

Interesting promotional video for Corning glass products of tomorrow.  Beyond my ken!

For fans of P.D. James and Jane Austen, an interview with Ms. James about her book “Death Comes to Pemberley”, a sort of continuation of Pride & Prejudice.   http://vimeo.com/31252065
I enjoyed the book very much – it is about Elizabeth & Mr. Darcy after their marriage.

Pinterest is a way to collect images of things you like http://pinterest.com/about/    Here are two "boards" created by two different people (not me) that I enjoyed looking at.

From A-Word-A-Day http://www.wordsmith.org/ for the word “dilettante”
[sounds like home to me. Del]  "I long ago came to realize that I am a putterer, a grazer, a dilettante. I create the impression of getting a lot done by dabbling through my days: I read two pages of a book, write half a letter, paint a portion of the front porch, bake half a tin of muffins, teach a class, wash a window." Robert Klose; Confessions of a Dedicated Dilettante; The Christian Science Monitor (Boston, Massachusetts); May 10, 2004. http://www.csmonitor.com/2004/0510/p18s02-hfes.html

We had a bit of fun at the Surfside Quilters Guild meeting on Valentine's Day.  These four guys sing together all year, but on Valentine's Day they appeared and sang love songs just for us.  It was lovely!
