I’ve spent the day organizing things both physical and virtual, in support of my goal for the year: read good things, write good things, make good things.

The bread’s in the oven, the soup’s on the stove, a dyepot is simmering, and I have a moment to blog before they all need attention.

Nick and I went down to the State College First Night celebration last night. We admired the ice sculptures, pleased for once it wasn’t raining (though it did today).

A real fire-breathing dragon!

We watched the parade.

And rang in the New Year.

I wish for you and yours a strong, solid year, full of things that please you, and only a few minor things that don’t.

    I love ice sculptures. And snow sculptures, which we will have hear in about a month, if we get some decent snow between now and then.

    I hope you have a great year with laughter, love, and more writing sales.

Welcome!

I’ve been doing stuff with string for quite some time, and describing it to others online since 1996 or so at Phiala’s String Page.

I also do some science and write some fiction.

I’m Phiala most places on the internet.
