Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Happy Birthday Franny!

Also,

All I wonder is if they're flame retardant.

That just ain't right.

Somehow that reminds me of the Children's Crusade....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Damn, Matt.

I had a visit from the can't-fall-asleep monster last night. Rare, thankfully. After mentally walking through all my childhood friends' homes, cataloging where additions had been made (man, those were some weird choices) and starting to drift off only to be woken by my incredibly badly-timed cats, I started mentally spelling "advil" over and over to keep my brain from working. Why? I don't know, it makes sense at 2 am. I fall asleep only to dream I'm a sushi chef who admits to not liking sushi at some weird dinner party/cooking contest and I have a petulant guest. Then there is a hurricane, then an earthquake. All is fine until meteors start crashing to earth and dad says "I think that was just the debris field" at which point I think this can't end well, screw insomnia and wake up. But I did get back to sleep. My internal thermostat is whacked, but other than that, I'm actually pretty alert.

Conclusions: cats are brats, I shouldn't watch things on plane crashes and I think I'm blaming it all on cesar salad dressing.

Happy birthday to Franny! Big girl now.

Yeah, I was just wondering what color of pushpin would be appropriate for this stage of his journey....

Ann, that's a ferret.

Happy Birthday, Franny!

In that part of the country? Any, as long as it's wet.

I wonder if he likes being tickled....

I have an old-style Tickle Me Elmo, and whenever I push his tummy, I think of the guy who does the voice, and it makes me happy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've seen the Elmo guy interviewed before, and it is surprising to hear Elmo's voice coming out of his mouth.
