It’s strange to see CK full of political, current-events content. Aside from actual elections days I think the only comparable content was during 9/11.

Not Packing

Here I am, home early from work, writing about life when I should be hurriedly packing to depart for Kat’s wedding in Vermont.

I would be here an hour earlier, procrastinating from a more leisurely regime of packing. Except, I spent the 7-8 a.m. timeslot this morning herding cats.

We managed to adopt one out to a friend before the night was out, and this morning was devoted to transferring the remaining pair out of the powder room (where they had taken up a potentially permanent residence under our sink) and into Gina’s generously donated crate.
