I'm part of a longitudinal health study, and there is a nurse that I meet with twice a year and she is just delightful. After getting the medical stuff out of the way, we just sit and shoot the sh*t. It's so lovely.

The coyote in the park is trying to interact more with humans, and that won't end well. I haven't seen her mate (noun, not verb) in a long while, so she might be on her own these days. However, she's started howling lately.
