Jasper! This boy has been so insistent on this type of cuddling the past several nights. Makes it really hard to work at desktop.

Jasper doesn’t know the meaning of “personal space” even when I am working. Unfortunately this 20lb cat also loves shoulders more than anything else! He kept trying to get in my shoulder here… but the seat head rest and back kinda stopped him.

Thanks AI bros you are all absolute shites. Memory prices doubling in past 60 days and just in time for holidays when a lot of new systems are built/bought and I expect there will be another 25-50% increase in next 60 days at least. Then bubble burst and a glut if Micron et al increase production.

“Quick run” up to Litchfield CT at the community center to film Johann doing a 90 minute set of sea chanteys, sea music and “folk” songs (a couple Gordon Lightfoot and Stan Roger’s pieces) related to the sea music tradition along with a bit of history. ~40 attended

Oreo is a trooper for not only putting up with Mac in a cone, but continuing to pal with him and try to snuggle him. (Mac got the snip a week ago… so another couple days in the cone)

This crazy boy. Such a joy.

Gave Mac a “treat” to keep him busy and “intellectually” engaged. Put 3 slices of doggie jerky (duck) in the paper bad as I rolled it up… then a blanket wrap and knots to hold it together. This should keep him entertained for at least 30 minutes?

Spoiled rotten little… was trying to make bed (well… adjust blankets so Brenna and I each have plenty of blankets now that it’s cold out) and he jumped up and flopped right in my spot. Wouldn’t move so just made bed on top of him… and he just loves it.

Home made 5 cheese Mac and cheese by the old southern family recipe. In the day a lady could win or lose a husband by her Mac and cheese. By Brenna’s reaction to smell and look I have her twisted round my finger about now.

Ooof… I mean… pretty much true - in effect if nothing else. Such a gut punch.
Worked with a fabric design artist to help her with some technical aspects of her design to do an amazing quilt about this topic. “Ripple Effect” by Hollis Chatelain. I’ll have to see if she has posted it online yet.

Snack time for puppers! He carefully pulls out all the mini stuffed animals that hide and make home work for the snacks… she pulls out 1 or 2 then uses her long narrow nose to root around and fins all the treats.

Great turn out for our “little town” of ~25,000 “souls” - reasonable estimates about 2000-2500 people at peak extending for 3 commercial block 2-4 deep on both sides of rt 1 then another block down main drag from Rt 1 towards airport. Good energy, no major mishaps.
