BU alum makes good

November 22nd, 2009

Here’s a nice article about moi in a Boston University alumni magazine. Lots of good pictures, especially of Milo! (It’s relevant: he’s a terrier. I thought it was so funny when I was accepted to BU that I would be going to a school with a terrier mascot. All my life, I’ve loved dogs — except for terriers. The one type I couldn’t tolerate, the one sort of dog I’d never own, never … never say never, eh?) And, featuring an appearance by the Golden Rod Rainbow Stripe Shawl Sweater Shrug Cardigan!

Notice, too, the clever bit of design where it looks like I’m holding the headline with my chopsticks.

    Especially love that last one of you and Milo grinning at the camera.

    1) Awesome article.

    2) Great photos! I love how it looks like MC is knitting her sweater with chopsticks. There aren’t too many people who could carry off a garment like that, but MC absolutely rocks it.

    3) Milo is so darned cute. Terriers rule, anyway (I say this as proud co-owner/ caretaker of a Mini Schnauzer who has enough energy and personality for ten dogs). Have you ever seen Best in Show? “God Loves a Terrier.” Enough said. : )

    The first thing I said when I flipped to the page was, “She’s wearing that sweater!” My husband looked at me like I was nuts.

    I’m COM ’97; we got the issue because my husband is CAS ’99.

    I love that song, EA Week! The full lyrics:

    “God loves a terrier
    yes he does
    God loves a terrier
    that’s because
    brown sturdy bright and true
    they give their hearts to you
    God didn’t miss a stitch
    be it dog or be it bitch
    when he made the Norwich merrier
    with his cute little ‘derrier’
    yes God loves a terrier!”

    I think we can switch out “the Norwich” with “the schnauzer” or “Jack Russells.”
