Well, Linguine has had quite the adventure. He is not allowed outside, he is an indoor cat through and through. But he wants to go outside. Wants it with every fiber of his being. He sees birds and geckos out there and he just knows if he could get to them, he would be a mighty hunter indeed. Well, a stray cat wandered through our yard this week. He looked remarkably like Linguine. In fact, I've seen this cat outside before and thought Linguine had escaped. Fettuccine also has an identical twin out there but that's not relevant to this story. Anyhow, Linguine did not think this new cat looked like his long lost brother. He thought this stranger cat looked like the devil incarnate and was filled with the burning need to eliminate his evil twin from the planet. He busted out of prison and took off after his doppelgänger. Kerry was in the yard and saw this portion of the proceedings.
Emily’s 23rd birthday has arrived! Since she’s off in Texas and not here for us to celebrate with her, we have to find ways to make an impact on her far, far away. Last year we sang a song in a Hamilton style. This year Katie picked another song she knows Emily loves - City Escape -and wrote lyrics to go with it. Kerry and I found the song to be very fast paced and we despaired of learning it in time (we only had an hour). After practicing while making dinner and trying about five separate times to record ourselves (at least one of us would flub it somehow). We usually find the mess ups to be hilarious and try to include a few in the finished project. We may not be the most talented singers on the planet but we sing with gusto and that's more important!
