Howdy from Texas!

Last night, we arrived in Dallas. And in the first four hours in The Big D, I was served a giant platter of barbequed chicken, along with a half-gallon-sized glass of lemonade. And while I was sitting there, trying to hack at my giant chicken, I looked down to find that a grasshopper the size of my head had settled itself on my leg. And at that moment, I attempted to muffle a Texas-sized shriek.

I ended up taking *only three knitting projects* with me. Can you believe it? One of them was a sweater, though, so that should keep me busy while I'm here. If not, I may just have to spend some time touring the local yarn shops....
