His work is exquisite. He wins every other year because of a ruling that the same person cannot be the top winner two consecutive years. He knows that, on alternate years, he may get a first but not the grand champion. Happy lacing, Alice in Oregon - Summer ended. It's damp and chilly now.

[lace] I am in seventh heaven...
Hi out there in Tattingland and Lacingland, FINALLY! I got my IOLI Bullentin in the mailbox today. Gee guys...really New York is not in the boonies...but you would think so with the way mail is so slow in getting here. AnyhowI could not resist taking a quick and I mean quick glance through it. I loved all the different laces that are in there. But I will have to get ahold of Kenn and have him send me a bigger picture of his piece. It was hard for me to see...and I don't think it is because I really do need to get my eyes checked again and get a different perscription for my lenses.I can't seen the center...so Kenn if you are reading this could you pretty please send me a bigger picture of your entry. Anyhowall of it was so beautiful...the tatted box...the mask, the love birdseverything...as I said I did a quick glance so I can't right now remember all I saw...and seeing these things in color is wellsighing here ...the best!!! I was a good girl though and didn't read hardly a word of it. I plan on putting it in my suitcase and taking it with me to Ithaca for reading material. Usually at night I pretty much stay to my roomand I usually can't sleep worth anything...You know strange bed and allbut what will probably happen is my mind really will not be able to shut down very wellit will be playing things that I either saw or did over and over again. I guess that is okay except for when I want to SLEEP. So to help me do that I will have to have some kind of reading material. Thinking of taking a book with me to read too. This year though I will have my desk ott light with me...so if I do my lace in my room which that will probably happen tooI will be able to see what the heck I am doing. In the past the lights in the motel rooms leave alot to be desired. It is hard to tell the actual thread from the shadows that artifical light causes plus it is hard to see where exactly to put the pins. Last year when I took my honiton class I was able to actually finish the piece before the workshop was over...I hope to be able to do that again but I have a feeling it was just a fluke. ;) I am so looking forward to the weekend...getting away by myself will seem like heaven to me. I will be able to relax, be myself and do whatever I want within reason that is. Though if there is a party going on somewhere I hope someone will come and get me and let me know. I am looking forward to meeting Pat Read ( my Milanese teacher) hey who knows the mask and love birds in the IOLI bullentin might be something I will be able to tackle after I learn the fundamentals of Milanese Lace. I am also looking forward to meeting Tamara.Devuall. And just seeing some of the friends I have made over the years... It is now for me 3 days away. I won't be there on Friday night...can't see paying for a motel room for that night. And I absolutely can't wait. BTW...are we going to have a archnoid table or get together again this year? I haven't seen any mention of it yet. Just curious.. Sherry Time is moving just too slow for me right now. [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!

[lace-chat] :) Fwd: thoughts on Government
I don't know what we'd do without young people and politics to complain about; both have provided us with endless entertainment for ages... :) I have no idea who P.J. O'Rourke is/was, but he(?) seems to have as many opinions on the subject as Mark Twain ever did See y'all a week from tomorrow, T From: R.P. Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But, I repeat myself. -- Mark Twain We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle. -- Winston Churchill A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul. -- George Bernard Shaw A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to society, which he proposes to pay off with your money. -- G. Gordon Liddy Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. -- James Bovard, Civil Libertarian (1994) Foreign aid might be defined as a transfer from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries. -- Douglas Casey, Classmate of W.J.Clinton Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. -- P.J. O'Rourke, Civil Libertarian Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else. -- Frederic Bastiat, French Economist (1801-1850) Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving,subsidize it. -- Ronald Reagan (1986) I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts. -- Will Rogers If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free. --P.J. O'Rourke If you want government t o intervene domestically, you're a liberal. If you want government to intervene overseas, you're a conservative. If you want government to intervene everywhere, you're a moderate. If you don't want government to intervene anywhere, you're an extremist. -- Joseph Sobran, Editor of the National Review (1995) The art of government consists of taking as much money as possible from one party of citizens to give to the other. -- Voltaire (1764) Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you. -- Pericles (430 B.C.) No man's life, liberty, or property are safe while the legislature is in session. -- Mark Twain (1866) Talk is cheap-except when Congress does it. -- (Unknown) The government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no responsibility at the other. -- Ronald Reagan The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. -- Winston Churchill The only difference between a tax man and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin. -- Mark Twain The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to ill the world with fools. -- Herbert Spencer, English Philosopher (1820-1903) There is no distinctly native American criminal class save Congress. -- Mark Twain There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you darn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences. -- P.J. O'Rourke (1993) What this country needs are more unemployed politicians. -- Edward Langley, Artist 1928-1995 When buying and selling are controlled by legislation, the first thing to be bought and sold are legislators. -- P.J.
