I forgot to title this

Last week was my first Independence Day as an American resident.



There were nice folks around, we ate potluck summer foods and then saw the Macy's fireworks display. It was cool because the same display of fireworks was going off at different places around the city -- so we could see the next display down from where we were, the same thing but smaller. Does that make any sense? I feel my descriptive abilities failing.

It was good to see some friendly faces from Toronto/Central America, too.





The kitchen ceiling is being redone starting today so the kitten is now living at my office (we came in a taxi this morning). It's kind of like when Ursula from Seinfeld makes an appearance on Friends, strange mixing of stories. LCdB has now stopped hiding under the sofa and has taken up position in the shelving unit; hopefully she'll eat and pee and be happy by the time the day is out.

PS New collabo-blog from Tom for all the cat lovers.
