We managed to wait a whole month and a half after the loss of two of our three cats to go to the animal shelter and adopt again. Meet Lady Gizmo de Gadgette (pink, very soft, got in my lap immediately at the shelter) and Portia the Explortia (tiny, whiny and affectionate).

A big raspberry-flavored thank you to Jake F. Tapper for pointing out how Biden "seemed to be getting a bit old" while the current resident of the White House goes ranting at the German leader about all his bugaboos on worldwide television.

Let’s remember this

Let’s remember this moment
when we were together
when you rubbed against my hand, my
beautiful licorice cat

let’s remember this moment
when we had enough to eat
when we were warm and safe

against the days ahead
whatever they’re like, whatever
tanks roll down the pike
