Is there anybody out there?

The rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.  I'm still married (yea!), I still have a son (he's now 11, I haven't killed him yet), I'm still knitting. In short, SSDD.

Though, I have decided that I need another hobby.  I want a spinning wheel.  I've wanted one for a very long time, but the urge is even stronger now as I've pretty much stopped knitting with anything that is man-made (or mostly man-made) because natural fibers are the bomb.  And I've got some roving around here that I'd like to spin up, but only have a drop spindle (and hell and be damned if I'm going to try to spin 2 pounds of roving on a drop spindle).

The nice thing about this hobby is that it goes along with my knitting hobby.  Now if I can only get DH to believe it.
