Had a nice weekend by most accounts.
Spent yesterday doing some shopping and taking it fairly easy. Had a good burrito for lunch.
Today found out that the New Jersey Children's Museum is not in Camden.

Someday cat blogging
I though I would share a picture of the great mouser.
Although she has gone down in estimation today in that she has been eating little metallic plastic filaments off of S.'s Halloween witch costume broom.
Oh well..

Cat and Mouse
Just wanted to pop in for a minute while I am waiting for a student to come by.
Last night was quite the adventure. A mouse foolishly decided to visit us in our apartment last night at 2am. Foolishly as our cat, Friend, quite amazingly spend 15 minutes tracking it down in the apartment, and then the next 15 playing with the mouse before we could get it away from her (quite the task in and of itself).
I now fully appreciate the phrase "cat and mouse" as Friend would grab the mouse in her mouth and bring it under the table. She would then let it go in front of her. Often, the mouse would play dead for a few seconds, probably hoping the cat would leave. Then it would try and dart away. Friend would either bat it with her paw to keep it in front of her, batting it back and forth until it would settle down, or she would run after it and grab it in her mouth, then drop it on the floor and sit on it. She would alternate between chasing and sitting on the mouse, occasionally running around with it in her mouth. It was quite the scene and, frankly, quite impressive in terms of how fast an eleven year old cat can move.
It's just too bad that that was how we had to spend from 2:30 to 3:30 in the morning.

SNL
Jut flipped on Saturday Night Live a few minutes ago and came to a realization:
shows that are "spoofs" of morning talk shows should no longer be allowed. They are not at all funny.
Later, saw skit of Appalachian Emergency Room. Didn't they used to that several years ago? Or was it more recent? In any event, it felt old. Was this episode - new cast doing old bits night?

Weekend
A preview of the weekend:
Today is pretty busy and bad. I am in my office all day as I forgot to bring my keys. Had to be let in and can't really leave unless I want to go through callign security again. With the weather, it's going to be that kind of day.
Tomorrow S. is going to a birthday party which should be fun for him. I am going to stay home and try to write.

Some thoughts on the day
I have been enjoying the weather lately. Many of the people I come in contact with around here are complaining about how cold it is, but I really love it. The past two days have been in the 30s and amazingly sunny. To me there is no better weather than this.
Too bad for them.
Too bad for them.
Unease revisited
It seems my unease was justified. The fact that it has taken me over a week to respond to it makes me think that it was worse than I expected.
