ProseKnitic – of Words und Wolle

My bone, what a treat!

The rest of us mortals are just muddling along.

And then there is With the Lightnings – David Drake. It is the first of the LT Leary space opera novels that were on sale at iTunes last week along with Starship: Pirates by Mike Resnick (already heard the first one – Starship: Mutiny). They are great knitting as well as travel listening.
