The Cellist leaves tomorrow for three weeks of performing and teaching in both North and South America. Know that I will miss her terribly but also know that this introvert is pleased to have three weeks of morning coffee without commentary.

In a storm, it is not pouring. No indeed. It is pouring down the rain. Also, Canadian geese are Satan’s chickens.
What are some words that entered your vocabulary via your partner that would have never wise done so? For me it is “el crunchy crunchy” for car accidents and “quenchers” for kitchen tongs.

Context: my mother is currently in a rehabilitation facility, following an ankle surgery.
Her: I met a nice retired navy man here. He asked me if your father and I played cards because he needs another couple for… Pinocchio?
Me: 😐
Her: 😀
Me: Pinochle, for God sake.

My wife is practicing Dvorak’s 9th symphony (cello for those of you not in the know) whilst I sing the melody in an obnoxiously loud dynamic, so clearly we were meant to be.

I give zero shits about football. But my late lamented Auntie Bev loved the Kansas City team, so for her? I’m sad. Otherwise, I’m a little tipsy and cuddling a dog so life is good.

Just trying to post something positive tonight, but there is a dearth of positivity. So I will go with the fact that there is a dog in my lap and a vodka tonic in my glass.

UPDATE: The Cellist bought herself a matching hoodie. If you had told a younger me, I would be happily married to someone who matched outfits with our dog, I would have laughed in your face. And yet here we are.
In my half century of life, I have adamantly refused to put clothing on my dogs. I considered it undignified. And then I moved to a cold climate and adopted a pitbull mix. Anyway, here’s Rizzo in his new hoodie.

We do not know his actual birthday, but we know he was a year and a few months when we adopted him on March 10. So we are designating January 10 as his birthday. Happy birthday, house hippo. Please enjoy your Frosty Paws.

Anyone else finding it rather stressful being alive at this point in the apocalypse? Like, we're too far out to just be resignedly grateful we'll be out of our misery soon, but too far in to blissfully ignore the thundering noise of the four horsemen drawing closer. Quite irksome.

I left southern California before the Obama presidency, but I still have so many friends there and I am absolutely appalled and frightened for them. This is unprecedented. My heart aches.

Day six with no supervision. I may or may not have built a pillow fort.
I am on the third day of isolation after my wife and her mother left the state. I have had a lot of cheese and may be slightly feral. I regret nothing.

The beast is currently whimpering because I have refused to arrange my legs on the ottoman in a position favorable to ultimate snuggles so clearly I am a monster.

Mother-in-law: I’m gonna weigh myself.
Me: you…you want to do that after Christmas dinner?
MIL: no it’s fine. I went to the bathroom and had good results.
