We are very fortunate that we have such a diligent watch-cat. This is her bird window of late.

We put a few kitty condos on top of one another so she can sit at window height and stare into this bush and watch all of the little thrushes and things that are still hanging around. There’s a cardinal in there that is taunting her. About 15 yards away are the bird feeders and I guess this is a good place for the birds to hide until it is there turn. But Allie, she’s a smart one, and she has got these birds figured out.

Never mind that there are other windows with a direct view of the bird feeder where the birds are moving around and she can’t be bothered to stare at them from that window. There are just somethings I don’t need to understand, I guess.

Poinsettias on campus:

And I’m in the studio doing microphone checks. We’re doing a training session.

I’ve demonstrated, once again, my literacy by reading words from a scrolling prompter. It’s a skill I have, one of few. But it is one we teach. One day I’m going to tell them that I learned to read from a prompter by running the scroll myself. No one will be impressed, because this setup here is comparatively incredible and they might never have to try it.
