It's been a good 2 weeks.

We saw 2(!) Sondheim shows: Merrily We Roll Along (movie) & Assassins (theatre).

I got ghost roots and judged a cat show (and got new head shots).

Notice of a new story by @[email protected] turned up in my email - look for "This is not a Space Kidnapping Fantasy."

In Sad News: today we lost a fellow writer--Carole Stokes passed from surgical complications. I did many many ZOOM panels with her.

Do I own any little cats or have I seen them recently?

My newest kitty (there are four others) is wandering in and out as I work on these questions.

I got my first cat in grad school and since then I've always had some. We bred cats for a little over 25 years (maine coons, havanas, munchkins).

In February in will be my 25th anniversary as a cat show judge.

How about niches or special interests?

I'm the crazy cat lady. Just the other day I was explaining the genetics of chocolate (as a cat coat color) when I brought my solid chocolate munchkin longhair to the vet.

For those interested, chocolate is recessive to black, but dominate to cinnamon.

I can go on all day . . .

Cat show was fun, but we judged on Sunday, so there was a bit of "let's get done and get out of here" going on. I'd rather take my time. Beautiful cats and a lot of lovely people.

It's a sore but happy day today.

Yesterday hubby and I judged our first cat show in a little bit for the wonderfully named Carnivorous Winos [cat club]. There was a lovely club dinner Saturday night at DoGood's in Lebanon, Pensylvania also.
