Well, it looks like I will be moving in about a week, so my writing in here might be a bit slow for the next month. Oh, who am I kidding? No one reads me anyway!
We’re moving across to town to the most beautiful apartments ever. We’re actually moving from [...]

the park

My husband and I went to the park today and had a small picnic with chicken, not to be confused, of course, with having a picnic with a chicken. Let’s be clear: there was some major eating of the chicken going on here.

on speakeasies and house cats

The next time I get a female cat, I’m naming her Princess Fédora Romazova.

birthday

My birthday was on Saturday, the 13th and I turned the big 2-5. That’s right, as everyone has reminded me, this is an entire quarter of a century. And, as my husband has reminded me, he doesn’t turn twenty-four until next March.
