Everything is "after Dragon" at the moment, which would be great if I a) felt well and b) was actually packed and ready to go. <br />See you guys after the con, I shall return with amazing stories, probably not too many amazing pictures but I'm hoping the Bearded Disney Princesses will be there, and probably con crud.Melfinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14939155022202916671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-84123372504500694922015-09-03T15:02:43.860+01:002015-09-03T15:02:43.860+01:00Sorry for the delete Posted below as Knit Potion.Sorry for the delete Posted below as Knit Potion.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15590106114439993564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-37539284735640886562015-09-03T15:02:00.906+01:002015-09-03T15:02:00.906+01:00The dog is wonderful!!

Even around age 10 or so I didn't understand a "science vs religion" stance (less of a thing in Canada, of course, than in the US) - and grew up to have one master's degree in science and a second in theology. Misunderstandings on both sides - my jaw dropped when a fellow seminary student proclaimed that science is missing metaphor. You probably know that Francis Collins, an eminent US geneticist, is a devout RC. "Perky" definitely the word the dog brings to mind. Saucier looks like a delight to use. Thanks for the mention of Nigel Slater - just looked up one of his recipes, which calls for "a glug" of olive oil - the kind of playful language that makes me nostalgic for my years in England.<br />- Beth in OntarioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-75508084439989937722015-09-03T13:57:38.139+01:002015-09-03T13:57:38.139+01:00A great looking dog.
