Epilogue. My hopes were renewed when I noted that at least I had taken time to dig a spoon from the pile of dirty dishes.

And then the Kansas Board of Education went fundamentalist again and I made up a tee-shirt that says US out of Kansas. I don’t think I’ve ever actually sold one, but I started making up some others and some of them have sold here and there and I’ve had fun giving them to friends. Lately I’ve just been writing off and on and, though I have a list of about 20 more tee shirts to make up, haven’t gotten motivated just yet.

The original tee shirt is this one (via CafePress). I’ve thought of changing to GoodStorm, but they don’t have organic tees.
