It’s crude but that is certainly the vibe he gives off. I’m not even sure he’d care. There is something decidedly « marionette » about him. He does whatever string gets pulled.

Here’s our big guy, Hugh. That’s the kitten, Elspeth giving him a hard time. He’s such a gentle man.

Quick question, for the No Kings « We Love America » rally — is it too early in the season to wear my pink pussy hat? I don’t want to be gauche.

Detroit Metro is amazing — the walkways and the tram are fabulous for the distance. (My Sainted Mother’s BFF’s son is the architect who designed it — Ayers Morison, Jr. One ‘r’.) I love me Detroit Metro.

I would bet no. Why? Because, since the GOP opened their tent to this sort of behavior, it’s become a feature not a bug.

I’ve lost two cats in just over a year — one of whom was my absolute best friend and 20 years old; the other was only 9 and I lost her to cancer. I have a new kitten and she’s … if I may say, the cat’s meow. Meet Elspeth.

Just got home from a short trip. Check out this photo my camera caught of the train arriving. It gets cooler the more I look at it.

She’s darling. She really is. Last month, we unexpectedly lost our beloved tortie to an aggressive lymphoma. Elspeth is here to help fill the void left behind and she’s just wonderful. She’s just over two months old and is a little pistol.

See, I stopped watching when DS9 ended. I was 6 when season 1, TOS aired. It was a huge part of my formative years and I am eternally grateful. Why yes, I have a hand-made stained glass IDIC on the living room wall. I bought it at a convention in the 1980s.
