Late March is the shade-tree sweet spot. The sun has drifted just far enough north in the sky that the northern end of my balcony is in shade from the big tree all afternoon, which makes it the perfect place to take repeated mugs of coffee and, to take a sample from this afternoon, trade paperbacks of Transmetropolitan, SF anthologies and the laptop. A remarkably productive day, all in all.

I'd say knitting has big crossovers with lots of fandoms. Lots of people do it.
I read SFF, but I tend not to be particularly fannish about it, unless bonding with someone over mutual regard for certain authors. Actually, I get a bit like that about knitting techniques when I meet other knitters.
