Beth Montelone @bethmontphd.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Happy birthday, to I guess, my no longer kittens. (Not that they don't still act like maniacs.) 150
Beth Montelone @bethmontphd.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I like watching football. I don't like watching games between two teams I don't like and having to root for the one I dislike less. Yuk. 120
Beth Montelone @bethmontphd.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Nix is having a no-good, very bad night, though he just got a break with the incomplete pass ruling rather than a turnover. 010

Beth Montelone @bethmontphd.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Sunday afternoon with my kittens. Buffy is excitedly watching squirrel predation on the bird feeder while doing nothing to reduce said predation. Willow is enjoying a nap in the sun. 010
Beth Montelone @bethmontphd.bsky.social · 22/06/2026Sad to say my dad hadn't been here for me to honor him on father's day, but I do think he would have enjoyed tonight's thrown-together, clean-out-the fridge dinner with freshly made tomato sauce and ricotta. 020

Beth Montelone @bethmontphd.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Last weekend was very sporty (2 home women's basketball post season games and 4 home baseball games in the space of 5 days) and so I let the kittens' 3-month gotchaversary pass unremarked. They are now 6 months of age and not nearly as tiny, though still smaller than Wills. 011
