We are at my sister's place in Wisconsin for the holiday. My son-in-law is reading Tolkien and trying his best to ignore my sister watching Green Bay vs. Detroit.
My sister watching a Packers game is a spectator sport.

The Kugelprinzessin has managed to remove her collar somewhere. Mostly this is an issue because it has a bell to prevent incidents of Stealth Tortie*.
