some disassociated thoughts

• In the Faroe Islands official signatures must be written with blue ink. In the United States black is the signature-standard.

• I have been asked to remove this note. Refer your objections to HEK@gmail.com.

• This weekend I started knitting my most ambitious project yet, a cardigan out of gray Faroese wool. I am working without a pattern, so it will be seen if my fledgling designer inclinations are anything more than fancy.

• Ben and I have spent the last two days at a church retreat with other Klaksvík youth. We partook in the three meals and three snack breaks per day with zest and enjoyed the chance to cultivate our budding friendships.

• We are going to Italy for Easter to visit Ben's sister, brother-in-law and much loved nephew. "Hip hip hooray!" for credit card debt and Heidi "Big Sister" Guttesen's cooking.
