Hey BD,
As if you didn't have enough online distractions (as well as offline), but I hear that this site: http://www.ravelry.com/ is really addicting.
A friend told me it's for knitting (and crochet) folks to share their projects, drool over 'dream yarns,' etc.
Was it really 60 in Boston today? The last time I was in Boston in January (1992, iirc), it was below 0 most of the time I was there.
