Music, Movies, and Books

Would I could tie your lying tongue, who says that leaving keeps you young.

Teach, Learn, Share

Useful winter-survival things: I was taught that to write you must bulldoze through thinking; knitting is easy; leaving is easy; ginger to fight the cold.
I would like to learn: how to be at home when I am not home; to speak many languages - or at least two; to weld small things.
