Better Angels Crochet

 My cold seems to have gotten worse... or, at any rate, it's moved around... But I'm going to work anyway after two days off at home.
So just a quick share this morning of a terrific article K. sent me (thanks, K!) about crocheters and other crafters joining the inflatable frogs & co. outside ICE in Portland.

I love this stuff so much! 
It's like an answer I relate to, to this good question:
 "If you're going to lose, what would you DO ANYWAY?"

Losing and winning aren’t quite the right concepts: I mean, we never know if we're going to "win" in the end, (in fact, what we do know is we face The Big Lose: death), or even what "winning" is,
but we "win" by trying to … um, to accept the invitation from the better angels of our nature. Whatever/whoever that is (they are).
