I’m somewhat impressed at myself that I pulled it off.

Planning some future embroidery (things for myself!) and it tickles me to see that the assigned number from DMC (major manufacturer of embroidery floss, the one you see at craft and art shops) for their bright red is .. 666.
Someone at this nearly 300 year old company has a good sense of humor.

Overnight in Chambersburg PA was a nice homecoming for the area where I went to college.
Probably could have done without the murder hotel with the guitarist above me deciding 5:30 AM was a good time for practice.
