Guest post: Shades of grey
Life is complicated. Truth is complicated. Looking for simplicity in a sea of tangled webs (how d’ya like that mixed metaphor?) would be futile and most probably frustrating.
Labor intensive
This being Labor Day and all, your normal blogular programming has been suspended. Fortunately, you’re getting something better.
Epilogues: August 2020

Editor’s note: We are collectively, universally, reliably over-the-moon for adopter updates. Whether a cat left our doors three days or thirteen years ago, it’s a thrill hearing from his forever family. But some thrills are especially meteoric, as Rocket, nee Inigo, is about to show you. Enjoy, my dears, and shine on. Thanks to the […]
Unexpected
We didn’t expect 2020. We can’t predict 2021, or tomorrow. But verily I tell you: that’s OK.
