Mneh, just discovered 2 overgroomed patches in Loki's rear armpits. Hoping it is just that I grabbed a different litter by accident and used it last week. They're due for a dental checkup next month, but I'll get pics and send to vets to see if I shouldn't wait. No scabs, just distinct thinned, short fur.

Damnit cats, were supposed to have a long healthy, drama free run after the geriatric years.

For anyone who's getting Live at Lincoln Center on PBS right now, it's Sweeney Todd with Bryn Terfel and Emma Thompson. (And Audra McDonald and Christian Borle.)

Oh, I saw that live when they recorded it! It was fucking amazing. Best live Sweeney I've ever seen.

Dana, I am DVRing that, but who on Earth is Audra playing? The beggar woman?

Yep.

peace to you ,Lee

Good luck, Connie

Isn't it technically back legpits?

Well, yes, but it takes longer to figure that out.

God, Loki was incessant with the digging of the covers this mornings well before it was time to get up.

ION, squirrels have figured out how to reach feeder. But not quite enough to funnel like frat boys.

Market time!

Timelies all!

Posting from one of the buildings at the retreat center.

OMG, I feel like shit. Just a cold, but man. I slept 11 hours last night, and don't think I can go see my father today. I'd better feel better tomorrow for the Alzheimer's Walk!

There's the Fluff Festival this afternoon in Union Square -- Marshmallow Fluff was invented in Somerville, which is as good a justification as any, I suppose. Tomorrow is the Alzheimer's charity walk, so I can rightfully say my weekend is full.
