The Other Feral Tabby Catches Lunch
This is the companion to yesterday’s post about the gray Feral Tabby and its encounter with the whitetail deer. This cat is orange and white and it might be a litter mate to the gray one, just a guess. It does a great job of hunting for mice. And it caught one!

Juggling My Birthday Glow Balls
Hey, it’s my birthday and it turns out the juggling glow balls are my early gift. Sena decorated my cake, using cookie icing that sort of spread out. You got to love the birthday card she got for me. “Selective Listening Ensures the Survival of Man.” Or at least this man. Just for the occasion…

Palm Sunday
Today is Palm Sunday, the beginning of Jesus’ last week on earth. The palm tree reminds me of the time we spent in Hawaii. We saw a lot of coconut palms. The featured image is from 1997, when we were there. I remember seeing a picture in a storybook of Jesus riding into Jerusalem on…

Christmas Cactus Flower in the Spring!
Our Zygocactus flower or Christmas Cactus didn’t bloom this past winter. But a plucky little flower has been poking out its head in the past few days. It’s a symbol of hope in the desert of our times.

Stuck in Two Ball Shower Juggling Practice

Juggling in Living Color!
Sena got me a spectacular gift—glowing juggling balls! They’re not like any of the juggling balls we have. You plug them into a wall socket and they light up. They are not much bigger than the other juggling balls we have, so not much of a learning curve. In a way, they’re kind of like…

Feisty and So On
There’s this dialogue in Men in Black II between Serleena and Zed: Serleena: Zed, look at you, 25 years and you’re still just such a looker. Zed: Cut out the meat dairy. And you, still a pile of squirmy crap in a different wrapper. Serleena: So feisty. I’m becoming more aware of the use of…

Do Not Lie to Me!
In about an hour (a galactic standard week), I plan to watch yet another rerun of Men in Black. That’s the first one of the trilogy. I nearly always can find a connection with some quotes from the MIB movies and current events. I don’t care to specify the current events because they’re depressing. The…

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
This is St. Patrick’s Day and, although I didn’t wear green today, Sena got me some Irish beer. It’s Guinness Extra Stout. The back label extols the virtues: “Intense characterful and bold, Guinness Extra Stout is the pure expression of our brewing legacy. Bittersweet, with subtle hints of hops, dark fruits and caramel, this stout…
