But almost.

I mostly added the coffee part for alliterative purposes, but I’m sure I’ll find a way to work it in. Indiana Cat continues to reside in the basement room. His last fecal tested negative for all parasites, so I’ve tried to allow him supervised run of the house on a handful of occasions. So far…

It’s just that time of yearWhen we push ourselves aheadWe push ourselves ahead – Dar Williams, “End of Summer” This is the window that gives me my first view of the outside world each morning. It’s a northerly view, and through it the first rays of day light stream in from the right and incoming…

It’s that time of year again, when the geese in formation fly in uneasy short bursts and the last spring’s fawns are nearly as big as their mothers. The Prof and I headed to the local Natural Lands Trust reserve to hunt for the elusive monarch caterpillar under a sky that threatened rain but delivered…

At least for me it is. Big Chain Pharmacy Store is open, and I know they’ve scheduled at least one tech to work. It would actually be a great day to have a shift on, since it’s the third day in a row that most doctors’ offices would be closed, meaning at this point there’d…
