Make sure you fuel up and hydrate appropriately.<br /><br />On language - just came across "tow the line" the other day and realized I'd always spelled it "toe the line". I think both could be used, but the meanings are certainly different.twinsetellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00384945565825357549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105432749747104284.post-65359931659040598912010-02-19T16:20:48.706-08:002010-02-19T16:20:48.706-08:00Yay Chris!!!!

Go Jocelyn Go:)<br /><br />Both sweaters look beautiful to me.<br /><br />I love your warmpth story and it brought to my mind a word who a relative of ours pronounced with a p that is not in the spelling. I thought at the time that she did it because she learned English late in life mainly by hearing it. But now I can't remember what is that word for the life of me :)Rachelhttp://www.knittingintranslation.comnoreply@blogger.com
