Looks like my smiley is making a sarcastic, squinty face there. It’s supposed to be winking! But assume it’s smiling, I really do like your Rogue.

Go you! And look at that fabulous Rogue. Which I still need to knit. You’re working on becoming a Master Knitter? Wow! I’m inspired. =) Good for you.

I agree. What format are they following anyway? Ye Olde AP?

I emailed the journalist and let her know, as another article is being published this week on my current reading list.

I loved the pictures. And I rather loathed the *Mrs. Green* bit. First, it’s not really accurate, since Green is your maiden name. Your mom would be Mrs. Green. And second, it feels old-fashioned in a newspaper to use “Mrs.” I think newspapers should stick to “Mr.,” “Ms.” and “Dr.” Easy, simple and you don’t have to pry into women’s personal lives just to figure out how to address them. (At my old paper, though, they wouldn’t let us use “Dr.” for Ph.D.s, like Cory. So she was “Ms. Johnson” in the paper, which was also wrong.)

Frankly, I feel like you should have just been Sonya. Forget the whole last name convention in papers. Like Cher or Yanni or the Pope — just Sonya. One awesome name stands alone.

Oh yeah. I forgot about that. Mrs. Green, heh. I guess I did tell her I was married. Stupid patriarchal society.
