A necessary gratuitous cat picture of my Willow. My faithful companion & bedwarmer-- claimant of the very center of my bed after the obligatory lap time while I'm reading.

Almost finished! One of America's first author celebrities. Twain had an amazing memory & was a great story teller. A man of contradictions & disappointments. I was disappointed with the way he dealt with his daughter Jean & his weird obsession with young girls-- his "Angelfish".

We almost made it! We were successful at: Attain the Blessings of the Elves, Challenge Sauron, & "Sauman, Your Staff Is Broken". Frodo & Sam even made it to Mount Doom with 5 rings to spend, but he lost too much hope & was unable to Destroy the One Ring.

Setting up our 1st game of LOR: Fate of the Fellowship. Playing this with my partner as Frodo & Sam and Legolas, & me as Merry & Pippin and Eowyn. Introductory level.

My little Willow helps to keep me sane in these crazy times we live in.

Just started reading. Kara Swisher is smart, witty, & knowledgeable. She calls it as she sees it, and I've come to appreciate her voice in today's world of information & misinformation.

A random picture of my cat Willow for your viewing pleasure. She's like, "Whatcha doin'"?

My husband attempting to beat the local record holding a heavy mug of beer at Goshen Brewing Company's Oktoberfest. It was a nice try, but not even close.

Cheers!

Had some eggplants from my garden, so I made the Caponata which can be put on crackers, baguette slices, etc.

Used the recipe from Lucky Peach Presents Power Vegetables cookbook.

Yum!

The Carolina wren babies have left the nest. Left our garage door open. What a mistake! Shooing 4 littles out with daddy squawking. Couldn't get pics of those little rascals. Maybe their dad has them in time out right now?

I was prepared to dislike this book. While I'm a fan of magic & fantasy, I don't generally enjoy regency romance. But the book was well written overall & I enjoyed the story, especially the underlying theme of inequality between the sexes & those who set out to change it.

We finished our last game of Ticket to Ride Legends of the West with Earl & Jenni. What a campaign! Earl won the title of wealthiest Railroad Baron by a landslide. Now the game is ready for 1900s.

This meal is a nice change of pace for breakfast or lunch. Saffron Chickpeas with Red Chard & Egg. Very tasty!

Just started reading Chernow's bio on Mark Twain. After having read many bios of the man over the years, it will be interesting to see if I can learn anything new in 1000 plus pages or merely commit more to memory. Is there more to be said?

Our 11th game of Ticket to Ride Legends of the West-- 1895. It's been quite a journey. Five of us strive to become wealthy railroad barons, but in the end there can be only one. Our next & final game will decide the ultimate winner.
