Need sewing help...

Three duffel bags shipped today to Resolute, containing my tent, camping gear, geology kit bag, a package for dangerpudding, my winter and technical clothes... and my portable plastic urinal, which is my birthday present given last night by patgreene. (grin)

However, I couldn't pack two of my silk long johns because of ripped seams. I need sewing help, else I'll need to order new ones ASAP. These have weight and texture in-between tights and women's hose, and the repairs don't have to be pretty (no one except me will see them :).

Anniversaries, not pandemonium

Yesterday... patgreene and I celebrated our 23rd anniversary. Which is older than I was when we married. tenacious_snail helped me choose flowers, and Pat used her birthday present from Les: two TBD theatre tickets. We went to see "25th Putnam County Spelling Bee" and Pat interacted with the players. It was fun! And we had a nice dinner afterwards at Scala's near Union Square.

It has been a year for us with lots of external stresses... illnesses, layoff threats, funerals, school issues. But obstacles overcome, and new experiences too.

Today... I've been working at home, getting a shipment together and sent off to the Arctic. It's a two-year anniversary for tenacious_snail and I (I lost the bet, happily ;) and we'll go out tonight after I go with Pat to an early-evening wedding reception for our church's assistant pastor M.

Happy birthday, runeshower!
