Nothing much to say that hasn’t been said long ago: I’m a doofus and a terrible follow
It’s. The. Little. Kitty.

and she’s spectacular

Today in 1809, the greatest president of the United States of America was born. Abraham Lincoln. Staggering intellect. Staggering will. Staggering empathy. I am in awe of his unparalleled writings and his indomitable will, and his insistence that we be better than we have been

Home. History’s greatest monster, MeanCat, met me in his gardens and escorted me back to his porch. I was on the phone and so no video but he was extremely flirty mcgurty, which we all know is super dangerous.

There are clues, subtle for sure, that the Blacky Whiteys like me.

Home. Long day. But it ended with my meeting the granddaughter of the late Justice Thurgood Marshall, which made me stop whining about law school for a while.

It helps me understand why the state does or doesn’t use evidence. And testimony for elements of the crime. It’s very different than investigating and solving the murders, for sure.

Oh it’s dumb. But it’s a chunk of the midterm so it’s sadly important dumb for the next two weeks

Long property law class. Oh bot, the rule against perpetuities. Then a meeting with my classmate about divvying up the work for mock trial in a few weeks. Then loving on the Blacky Whiteys in the cottage. I really don’t want to be in law school right now. And real court tomorrow. But oh well.

Orangeys lead the way

Home. And MeanCat ran off his front porch to escort me back to his lair.

Blacky at Rest. Two Days in a Row.

During our classes at Cleveland State later this month, we have a mock trial thingy, with direct/cross examinations, and rules of evidence. It’s rare but sometimes I know what I’m doing. One of those times will be that mock trial.

it’s time to stretch my little legs in class

Queen of the Gongy Gongy. Blacky in a rare still moment.

Two days after coming into our home for the first time, The. Little. Kitty. had the look that being loved and being safe brings.

Listen to the fake-but-always-so-loud patriots with their latest hatred, & you see the truth in this

He’s a fit and fine tyrant again. Hurray?

Court is adjourned

But, soft! what light through yonder Orangey breaks?
It is the east, and MeanCat is the sun
February 8, 2026 at 1:36 PM
Indeed. And I don’t think I work hard enough. I’ve just been very lucky for so long.

I gave up the coating a years ago. The tofu holds up just fine for me. But everyone is different
February 7, 2026 at 10:25 PM
I just read what I’ve tried to live. And no one will care, which is fine to me, because it’s not a solution, it’s a path.

orchids, small Christmas cactus, and a large monstera overwintering in the cottage aka blacky whitey courthouse
February 7, 2026 at 9:00 PM
In the cottage to water orchids, and Grumpy Face Blacky Whitey demands some loving. I love the afternoon light in this space. And I love these blacky whiteys.
February 7, 2026 at 8:00 PM
Yeah. I’ve done all of his techniques. Now I just press the tofu for 30 minutes. Slice and blot with paper towel. And pan fry in wok with very little oil. No coating. Nothing. And it comes out great. Wok-ey is beyond non stick. Of course, cook in batches. Don’t crowd the wok.
