As you read this, I’m on the last day of a four-day marathon Zoom meeting and my brain is probably toast. This is a once a year thing, as whatever ALA committee I’m on for the year has its final deliberations meeting. It’s generally a lot of fun, it’s always fun to talk about good books, but four solid days of Zoom is just, well, A LOT.
I’m sure that each of the cats will keep me company in one way or another for a bit each day. Several of us have pets and they generally serve as both comfort and comic relief – and we’ll all need both of those things before it’s over. One year, Hecate had OPINIONS and started waving her bunghole in front of the camera. Being obedient humans, we immediately changed whatever subject had ‘Her Highness’ so incensed.
Today’s cat picture is of Miss Luna, who hasn’t been featured for a while, participating in one of Galen’s work meetings. She also looks very much like she’s posing for her close-up. And she’s gorgeous at it, which of course SHE KNOWS. She absolutely KNOWS.
