The Giants were an amazing team to watch throughout the playoffs and the World Series. I love it when a team deemed to be "misfits" and underdogs dumbfound everyone and the BIG PRIZE. I loved seeing Tim Lincecum (having pitched a masterful game) do the high jump over the dugout fence after the last out in game 4. I loved watching Tim and Buster Posey hug and jump like schoolkids delirious with joy. I loved that Edgar Renteria was rewarded for his tenacity, patience, and playing with a torn biceps tendon that should have kept him on the bench, but didn't by receiving the well-deserved MVP award. I loved that Edgar turned to hug the owners, GM, and managers in the post-game interview so he didn't have to face the cameras with tears streaming down his face too choked up to speak a word. I loved that everyone in San Francisco was so humble and so happy to have finally won. It was the very best kind of World Series outcome!
Unfortunately, my state seems to lack the early-voting that yours has, Deb. We do, however, have a shiny new voting system which is somehow hugely superior to the one we had been using.

I've always loved being crafty, but never imagined I could be lucky enough to do it for a living until I started Designs by Romi in 2005 after getting hooked on lace knitting. Things grew from there, and these days I'm teaching and designing knitwear - especially shawls! - as well. I owe the internet knitting community a debt of gratitude for making it possible for me to fondle yarn, fiber and beads incessantly, and not feel guilty about it!

My husband and I started a new tradition this year that we plan to continue. We voted the day early voting opened in our state!
