1. I keep a close eye on Copper as he ages, especially regarding how much he eats. I feed him twice a day and right now he eats most of the food I put down but not all of it and I don't really know if he's eating any his dry food from the feeder at all. It's reassuring to me that he hasn't quit eating, but I wonder if his appetite is beginning to wane.
I spent about an hour and a half with Copper today lying with him on the bed. He seemed to enjoy the attention. In a perfect world, Gibbs wouldn't bark at him and chase him if he were in the living room. I'd love to have Copper with me when I'm in other parts of the house than the bedroom or Vizio room, but that just can't happen and I accept that -- and, I think Copper does, too!
He and Gibbs are great companions.
2. Abby had texted me a couple of days ago to say he'd be at The Lounge this afternoon and asked me to join him.
I did.
We yakked for nearly three hours and covered a lot of ground -- mostly personal history in Kellogg and I learned more about Abby and how he got to know Kate and more.
We had a superb time -- lots of information and lots of laughs.
3. About a half an hour or so before I went home to fix dinner, Tim O'Reilly strolled in.
The great conversation Abby and I were having continued with Tim joining us.
Tim and I were choir members together at North Idaho College and after I returned home, Tim and I continued conversations from Friday and Saturday, not in person, but on the phone. We did more than just wax nostalgic. That time at NIC was formative for both of us and it's clear from what we talked about that the impact of that school year (1972-73) is very much alive in us, each in our own way, and is a fascinating time in our life to talk together about.
