Football
Well, the Buckeyes could have played better last night, that's for sure. If you're a Bayou Bengal, congratulations – you were just a little hungrier than we were.
Mr. Shrinking Knitter and I weren't hungry at all, after we tucked into our party feast. We had guests though:
Seriously, I made so much food that we ended up putting the cheese tray back in the refrigerator. The only ones who sampled it were Molly, on the left, and Hershey. We humans demolished the vegetable platter – I felt so virtuous!For Anne: My high-school senior class president went to OSU and got to dot the "I" in the Script Ohio at the Rose Bowl.

Triplets.
And yesterday we learned they're all … boys!

My list of knitting projects just got a lot bigger. Heh.
