Two cats emerged in a window, and I —
I took their picture by and by,
And that has made all the difference.

Visions of Boo
One of the downsides to getting older is seeing your vision get worse and worse. The latest example for me personally was believing I saw Boo on the kitchen counter, right next to the stove, but knowing this could not be the case. Boo is not allowed on the kitchen counters and knows he is not allowed on the kitchen counters. I’ve had such visions before, but they usually vanish as I approach, a form of far-sightedness I suppose. This time the vision stayed until I was so close I could have reached out and touched him.
My eyes betray me.

Sam Gets a Boo Box Lesson
“I don’t know Boo, this seems kind of boring.”
“Get in a tall, narrow box like this one! You can pretend you’re in a submarine!. ‘Give me a ping Trixie. One ping only please.’ ”
“There’s no room for belly rubs?”
“Or you can be a Formula One racer, barreling into Eau Rouge at legendary Spa-Francorchamps!”
“Maybe there’s a big box where dad can snuggle with me?”
“Or an X-wing fighter, preparing for the trench run with TIE fighters hot on your tail! Not today fellas, the Force is strong with this one!”
“I think I’m going to curl up with dad on the couch.”
“NOT EVERYONE IS MEANT FOR BOO BOX! You can curl up with your head on the side like this, or stick your arms way over the side, or sink down completely inside the box, or …”
“Some of us have bones, Boo. Some of us have bones.”
“Commander Boo, you are go for liftoff! Godspeed to the moon!”
Don’t Give Me That Look, I Didn’t Vote For Him!
Spring Comes to Irving Park
A picture of Ellie from April in front of blossoming trees at the edge of the dog park section of Irving Park. As much as I love the rain even I was ready for such a glorious sunny day after a wet winter and a wet start to the spring. But then the spring got unusually hot and dry for a while and I was longing for the rain again. I was standing in line at the cafeteria the other day when we had a lovely warm day after a stretch of miserable hot days, and the cashier asked me if this weather was more to my liking since he knows I hate the heat. I said it was just about perfect but I’d love some rain and a colleague in line looked like she was about to have a heart attack and made me repeat what I had just said, her eyes wide in disbelief.
I post this as evidence that I do like the sun in addition to the rain, just give me the warm days, you can keep the hot ones.
