1. The wet snow on Christy's and our sidewalks didn't concern me. It was shallow and easy to walk on. But I shoveled anyway late this afternoon out of concern that if that shallow wet snow and slush froze, it could be a bit dangerous. It didn't take, but I got my heart pumping and I got a little winded and my mind felt freer for having cleared our walks.
2. Gibbs and I have spent many weeks together in 2025 without Debbie. Without a doubt, Debbie is Gibbs' primary person. Today, though, I swear, Gibbs entered the Guiness Book of World Records for the amount of time he spent on my lap, sometimes awake, sometimes sleeping. Gibbs craves human contact and for quite a while he had held out, but Debbie hasn't returned home and Gibbs' response has been to give being on a living room chair along side me a try and now he's dialed things up to not just being beside me, but lying across my legs and not for just ten or fifteen minutes but for over an hour at a time.
Ever since Copper moved into our house in February 2021, I've hoped he would become a lap or a chest cat, but it's not his way. He likes me to pet him or rest my hand on his back or stomach. He also likes to press himself against my lower legs if I'm on my back in bed.
But that's it.
No resting on my lap. No resting on my chest.
Luna, however, was a total velcro cat.
3. The last time I remember Beating pizza was at The Lounge when I joined other guys to watch the Major League Baseball All-Star game in July.
Well, a pizza place in Pinehurst has just opened (or reopened under new ownership, I think) and I'm the host for Sunday's family dinner. I checked with Christy and Carol to see if going out for pizza would work for them and they replied in the affirmative.
So Sunday around 1 o'clock, we'll blast out to Prospector's Pizzeria and give their pizza a try.
I was way more relieved that we agreed to do this than I should have been.
I am happy there's pizza in my future and I was really stuck regarding what to have for dinner if we had it at our house with me as host.
