The only thing I was asked to contribute to the family Thanksgiving feast was whipped cream for the pies. My reign of terror of burning the dinner rolls is over.

My favorite sentence in this excellent story on Rep. Vicente Gonzalez by @matthewchoi.bsky.social: In a recent interview with The Texas Tribune, the four-term Democratic congressman, with a penchant for going rogue, took a shiv to the Democratic playbook. www.texastribune.org/2024/11/26/t...

My dogs are obsessed with these treats. Unfortunately, if they want more, they’re going to have to get jobs.

Having a good Saturday. Brunched on waffles, had air put in my tires and gave the dogs a long walk. Now I might go out and get some wonton soup and egg rolls. I needed a day like this.

There's a weird, strong, sweetish smell in the back yard that I can't ID. It's not decomp. So now I'm googling "Are my neighbors making meth?"

My cat, Batman, has been feeling poorly for the last couple of days, and I just saw him drink water on his own. What a relief. Now the wounds I got when he fought my attempts to keep him hydrated can heal. Here's a poorly lit pic of him from a couple of years ago when he was a baby.

Yesterday, I took my typically terrible monthly shots of the full moon. As I was walking away from the evening shot, I heard a voice. It was a man at the house, whom I hadn’t noticed, asking me if I had taken his picture. Uh, no, dude.

My work tonight was interrupted when I noticed Ralphie had a mouse in his mouth. Naturally, I started screaming, which caused him to run to the bedroom and onto my bed, where I gained control of the baby, which I released outside. Ralphie’s still searching for his prey on my bed.
