If you’re not listening to @kirkhamilton.com ‘s Strong Songs, you need to fix that immediately.

Have moved on to the Strong Songs on Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart”, which, to this day, remains a *fucking banger*.

A happy cat, on his back on a couch, the sun shining on his face.

It’s very of its time, but my kid had fun until the very end!

That’s very AI.

Too sad. She didn’t care that Z. Binx was reunited with his sister; a cat died, and she sobbed. 🫠

6:45 am: gentle lowing from the cows in the valley below.

We are currently camping in SW WI. We’ve seen deer (and spooked them in the dark), heard coyotes yipping and a great gray owl calling across the valley.

Way #3948473 I’ve embarrassed my husband: by singing him the entirety of the Colgate Tooth Powder jingle, loudly, in the co-op aisle.

Charlie, Sam, and Effie are also there.
