I'm thankful that I was born a human this time--and inspired to make the best of my luck for the time I have left.

And very thankful for getting to know all of you, my teachers, friends, and giggle-inspirers.

Happy Thursday of feasting on words and good thoughts, M.

I am very happy you were born a monkey who types online, says the halfing that just got smooched by a Kees.

monkey=human in the house. Except for the dogs. I suspect they view us as odd furchallenged puppies. ;)

Monkey is me! Cats also have questions about letting primates sleep inside!

Hope your turkey day was great.

Thanks! Was very respectable day altho nontraditional and a bit unexpected. And today was good too in the sense of "getting things done" and then being silly with Ben watching the new "Casino Royale." That is more traditional than not for us maybe because of films getting released around this time of year. How was yours?

Ben and I had one cat before we had dogs. She adopted us one very cold and snowy January when we lived in a no animals apt in Albany by the angela insightful method of showing up at our apartment door, looking miserable and refusing to leave. Our first cohab. I am not sure I can quite wrap my head around the concept of animals as pets.. Are you a cat person mamcu? or cats have just worked out so to speak? *

(*I am more just an animal person, if such a thing is, and maybe by environment rather than nature. I have this sneaking suspiscion in my more cynical moments that there's an animal grapevine out there, and my name is on the street ;)

My turkey day was very fine--hope to post in more detail, but also involved "Casino Royale" while someone else did the cooking!

Most of my cats have arrived via the animal grapevine* the way yours did (my current cap Mop showed up about a year ago, just when we were thinking we might just stay per-free for a while), though I have been known to actually go out and get a cat deliberately. I guess I am a cat person, but dogs are a close second. I haven't had one because I too often travel long distances, but have really loved my sister's Schnauzer and her others (I guess I have dogs like I have grandchildren: borrowed!) I think I'll eventually settle down enough to have one, though. But I've almost never been without a cat.

*Or maybe they put marks on our doors, the way hobos used to. I know cats do that!

Happy Thanksgiving, Mamcu!

Thanks! Used to have a calendar that told me when yours is, but where is it now?

Happy Thanksgiing to you! And because I'm me, I'm pondering whether I'm a teacher, friend or giggle-inspirer. And which one would be the most flattering. ;-)

Lucky you--you get to be all three! (Remember that knitting lesson--I think that qualifies on all levels).

I'm thankful that I got the chance to spend some time with you in Tahoe. It's inspiring to meet a woman of "mature years" who is so together and grounded.
I'm thankful you were born a human this time, too!

Speaking as another woman of "mature years" here of course!

Honey, we aren't old, we're just well-aged. I dwell on that difference. And very glad I got to know you better, too. Still up for a visit sometime, one place or t'other.
