DECK DRAMA Bianca (dog) just spent 5 minutes whining at me while refusing to make eye contact because the cat is in her (Bianca’s) spot next to me on the deck. She has finally settled down a few feet away, passive-aggressively ignoring both of us. Meanwhile, Endora (cat) does not give a fuck.

This, THIS, this is it folks, the sound of Peak Midwest Summer, of humidity and heat and decadence and everything ripe and glorious, sweet corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, feet in the kiddie pool, mint juleps, iced tea, baseball on the radio, and you’ve been sweating so long you no longer care.

Generally I am a traditionalist when it comes to advent calendars. I make an exception for this work of absolute genius.

Gentlefolk All, I give to you the unrepentant face of a dog who, in insisting on being in the tiny space on this loveseat left by myself and the cat on my lap, jarred the coffee table, thereby spilling my coffee and disrupting both self and cat.
