M*A*S*H

Cody and I received a couple of seasons of the old TV show M*A*S*H on DVD for Christmas. I used to love that old show. I still enjoy watching it, but as an adult I can see the anti-war propaganda rampant throughout the show, despite the igmo on Yahoo Answers who claimed the show was "very apolitical". If he believes that, I've got some land to sell him, complete with bridge...

As a kid, I just thought it was funny; now I see it as more than just a comedy. Funny how your perceptions can change as you get older.

One thing that hasn't changed is my perception of Alan Alda. In the series, his character is portrayed as the quintessential ladies man--a real charmer, as it were. I don't understand why. I think the man is ugly. I did when I was 10, and I do even more so now.

Maybe I am just too picky...

Now, just so this post is not a total loss, I present a Walk With Me Wednesday photo:

Walk With Me Wednesday

Some of the knitting blogs I read participate in a weekly photo sharing meme called Walk With Me Wednesday. The object is to go on a walk on Wednesday and post photos of things you see on your walk. Though I most likely won't participate every Wednesday, I thought it would be nice to share with you some Walk With Me posts.

This is the Lost Bluff Hiking trail out at Grenada Lake.



Deer tracks are a common sight, no matter where I walk. These were taken in between the cotton fields down the street from where I live.

OK, now I confess I didn't take those pictures today. I didn't go for a walk today, but I have such a backlog of photos from when I was walking last spring and summer that I won't lack for images to post.

But what did I do today? This:



Yes that is what you think it is--chocolate fudge. I made two batches. One I cut up right away, and the other I will vacuum seal for later on.

And I finished this scarf:


Well, actually, the scarf had been finished long time ago, but I hadn't ever attached the fringe. I don't like doing fringe, so I put it off for a long time. I finally just made myself sit down and do it. Now that it is done, I'm glad it's over with. This was a stash buster scarf made from leftover yarn. I don't have an intended recipient for it just yet. Maybe I'll send it to the Red Scarf Project.

One last thing before you go. If you've a mind to, go help this poor graduate student out with his experiment.
