While we’re in the collective spirit of not ragging on the French, I would like to call your attention to this little essay by a Frenchman, entitled “A Frenchman’s Appreciation of Thanksgiving.” I couldn’t have said it better myself. Now that I think about it, I must say that, while I always have enjoyed Thanksgiving, a personal exposure to the French joi de vie helped me understand just why I enjoy it so much. I’ll be back with a special Saturday post to talk a little more about the shirts. If you haven’t already, you can see the shirt designs by clicking on the above link, “Tee-Shirt Art!”

Forgot to say my cat lady tee arrived or one did. II says home is where the cat is.
I have two of the elderly cats in bed with Dickens and .me, a couple of the younger interns are in too, one is out with dogs in lAundry. Rest are touching it out in cold rain, probably in a boat or even the potting shed or porch.
LOVE today’s strip. Have said that to my cats many times over the years.
Weather in DC yesterday was gorgeous – sunny, high in the mid-60s. Went to the US Botanic Garden and Iwo Jima Memorial, as well as a lot more walking in nephew’s neighborhood near Georgetown. Today is starting out cloudy but is supposed to be warm again. For tomorrow the prediction is around 50 all day with rain for much of it -Yuck!
If we were home we’d be looking at temperatures in the low 80s.
Debbe: Mindy is feeling better but not 100% yet. But she did get her Christmas tree up. And a lovely thing it is…
Jimmy, thank you for starting Saturday off with a smile.
Has anyone done the math to figure out many cats it takes to equal dogs as in ‘it’s a 2 dog night’?
TruckerRon: That’s complicated – what breed of dogs and how fat are the cats?
I’m sure GR6 is up to it. Look how well he’s done at estimating female skin coverage/exposure.
Where is everyone?
