Glad I stayed home. Six new pages, and I'll try for two or three more after another small break and a shower.

Just ordered a bowl of chicken soup and a grilled cheese sandwich from Mel's. They had a seven dollar off promotion, so it was pretty cheap. We like pretty cheap.

Home again. Last night at the shelter. The forecast for the next 10 days shows no evenings below freezing.

I’m knee-deep in an early Ann Patchett novel called Run. It’s a mixed effort. I like the story, but something about it seems to have been over- and underwritten. She wasn’t in full command of the gifts displayed in later books.

Wrote another couple of pages and that should do it for this evening. I do have just a couple of little things to figure out as I head towards the end, but they're minor.

Due to lack of ticket sales, the Screen Machine's premiere of MELANIA has been relocated to a more appropriately sized venue. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Around 2:00 Ann and Jen arrived with a newly constructed cat tree an d carted off to the basement the old one. Annabelle and Stella claimed it immediately while Thatch is still debating if he likes it.

Very nice of Ann and Jen...as usual.  When we can post pictures again, can you post a picture of it? :D
