Yeah. If Aimee is that important to him, he should be treating her as a valued employee that he wants to keep....

ION, I'm smiling and having heart-wibbles due to GC and GF.

I saw my brother and wife and new baby in the hospital this morning. It was very cute to see my very big brother trying to put this tiny diaper on the baby. He actually did drop her a bit and then caught her just fine. Anyway, he was so tender with her and it was so cool to see that.

Cash, if you are around, how far is Stevens Point from the Twin Cities? I'm thinking it's too far to visit, but I thought I'd ask.

About four hours, I think....

I just got done de-boning a truly yummy turkey I roasted this morning. There is something so primal and satisfying about doing that.

Plus, the pot of soup I'm making along with it smells fantastic.

PLUS, there is Bartleby's earnest, "Can you see me over here on my spot being good? This is some world class 'good' going on over here. First rate stuff. And I say this, not so much because the goodness that is me is worthy of note, but that it is goodness worthy of reward."

I swear, if he had actual eyebrows, he'd be waggling them at me.

When I give the dog something like a piece of chicken, he then walks around the whole house sniffing the floor, in case the chicken fairy has appeared somewhere else. Then he comes back and gives me his "I am the most pitiful dog in the world" stare.

I believe I am familiar with this look.

with Tuck it is more:

Can you see me up here on your countertop where I'm not supposed to be? That's because I can FLY. Yup, thassaright. Flying dog. Not going to tell you all the other things I can do but you really should give me that chicken now. Because you don't know what I'm capable of. And you have to sleep sometime. Also? I'm cute.

Then he comes back and gives me his "I am the most pitiful dog in the world" stare.

Ah, closely related to the "I have NEVER eaten food of any kind since I was weaned from my mother's teat. EVER. No, seriously. I MEAN IT. Look at me! I AM WASTING AWAY. I don't even remember what food IS!!!!"

Oh, my cats tell me that sort of thing ALL the time. In fact, sometimes only minutes after actually eating their crunchies.

Silly creatures.

Also - the weather is playing April Fool's jokes: it snowed on my way to lunch today.
