Spent a lovely, lazy day on the couch with our equally lazy kitties and favorite fall activities: trashy books (for me) and football (for Chris).

Chris refuses to go to bed because he's "watching the game". Reader, this man has been awake for about twenty minutes, total, over the entire length of the game. I don't even think he knows who's playing.

It's the First Friday of the month, which means it's time to clean your water bottle and descale your coffee maker. It's also October, so it's time to bury me in a pile of cinnamon.

we've never had much reason to articulate this before a.i., but a reason we enjoy literature, art, music, etc. is that we know it is one human mind trying to express something fundamentally human and otherwise inexpressible to another human mind

The kitties like to cuddle between me and Chris on the couch, so 80% of our texts are just sending each other pictures of them from different angles.

“Hurry!” said Frog. “We will run and catch it.” “No!” shouted Toad. “I cannot do that.” “Why not?” asked Frog. “Because,” wailed Toad, “running after my list in not one of the things that I wrote on my list of things to do!”

This just happened. I confronted Rick Jackson and asked him how he plans to deport and depart all Muslims as Governor. As usual silence and cowardice.

A few weekends ago I went to Miami and attended 9 open houses in extremely high-risk flood areas to see what agents are telling prospective buyers about them. Here is my journey

The open houses at the edge of disaster

What are buyers being told about climate risk in Miami? I posed as one to find out.
