Dad, don’t read the following entry
October 18th, 2005Seriously, Dad, I’m going to talk in this brief entry about something I found to make for you that’s just about perfect, so don’t read on.

(Does it ever work, by the way, to make this request? If I were asked specifically not to read something, I think I’d get all itchy, worry about it, then read it anyway. Am I alone in this? I believe that my father has this kind of discipline, however.)

The first issue of Men Knit is up. I am so going to make my dad some Bicycle Helmet Ear Warmers. Dad frequently does 100-mile bike rides and runs half-marathons. One of his favorite rides is along the cold Northern California coast in September.
Next year I’ll make sure he’ll have warm ears.
