The cat…maybe not so much.
First, there was a meeting with members of the groups who recently traveled to Nicaragua. We talked, ate, and watched videos that will be, from this point on, possible blackmail material. It was a blast to be around everyone again.
And then my friends came for a visit to my very house. Let me repeat: they came all the way up here for a visit!
It was so nice not to have to drive somewhere to do the visiting. An anomaly!
I didn’t even mind their dog, despite their dog falling in the category of “other people’s dogs.”
The cat, however, may have minded the dog.
While I and my friends and parents had a very fine weekend, the cat lost some hair. Click on the image above to see the illustrated version.


I love the cat-toon!!!
1. I love Eight Legged Freaks. It is a perfect movie for those times you need to shut down your brain.
2. My cat Cleo commiserates with Brutus.
3. I can appreciate fully how you feel regarding making music with fellow musicians. And …
4. Being petty is very underrated. I am insanely jealous of your weekend (I was grading papers).
I too had a great weekend! The farm was AWESOME! I got to run around and leave my "mark" everywhere! I also was able to slobber on some new friends! I really wanted to break poor Brutus free from the shanty…but I too lack the thumbs that it would have taken to open the door…maybe next time… Max
I have been glad many times over that certain pets lack opposable thumbs.
Hoo, boy.
Many times over.
