What a great quote:  “Just because you’re an old guy, you don’t have to sit around drooling in the corner,” Bush said.

Via the Washington Post

“Former President George H.W. Bush marked his 85th birthday on Friday the same way he did his 75th and 80th birthdays: He leaped from a plane and zoomed downward at more than 100 mph in freefall before parachuting safely to a spot near his oceanfront home.”

June 13, 2009 is WorldWide Knit in Public Day (WWKiP), an annual social event for knitters.   Events are also being held on June 14, making this a WWKiP Weekend.

Here is a description from the WWKiP web site:

“WWKiP Day is unique, in that it’s the largest knitter run event in the world.  Each local event is put together by a volunteer or a group of volunteers.

WWKiP Day is really about showing the general public that knitting can be a community activity in a very distinct way.  In some places there are many different knitting groups that never interact with each other, on WWKiP Day they come together in one place, making them hard to miss.”
