We had a simple but yummy dinner last night. Jeff had a hankerin’ for a Dijon-style pork chop on the grill. I paired that with Jeff’s favorite vegetable-asparagus–that I also grilled. They both turned our very nicely.

Buster (pictured) and Dobie seem to have a sixth sense for open doors. They can be sleeping peacefully downstairs, Jeff or I can quietly open the door to the upstairs balcony, and inevitably they are outside within two minutes.

Same with the basement and garden doors. This afternoon, Jeff and I were carrying bags of river rocks from the basement to our upstairs lightwell (more on that project tomorrow). On one trip up, we left the doors open for no longer than 2-3 minutes. Sure enough, Buster quickly made his way to the backyard…all the way to the back wall.

In this photo, he innocently looks back at me, as if to say “Oh, hi. I was just waiting for you. How did I get all the way out here? Please assist me back to the house. You’re my hero. I almost missed my afternoon nap.”

Oh, Old Crooked Head. I can’t stay upset…he’s too damn sweet…and sleeping next to me now as I type this update 🙂

I don’t know anybody who is truly ready to admit that its time to plan December, but I’m caving and putting things on the calendar. Like this IMPORTANT event!!

On December 1st (6pm-9pm) and 2nd (11am-4pm), I’ll be participating in my 11th photo show at the Ft. Mason Center, Building B, Room 106. The Ft. Mason holiday shows are fun events with displays from all of the City College art departments. I’ll have 3-4 new pieces on display, including this one from Venice.

So, for those of you within the sound of my voice…do drop by and say hello.

I’m sorry…and this will be brief…but I’m tired of the argument that we need to “protect marriage” for our children. But the wise zealots of Virginia have placed a Constitutional Amendment on their ballot to define marriage. But the amendment goes even further to deny ANY legal union “of unmarried individuals that intends to approximate the design, qualities, significance, or effects of marriage”. The SIGNIFICANCE of marriage. Excuse me. Who is judging?

Anyhow, this burns me up.

I’m off the soapbox.

…to Sean, who is EXTRA special today. The Peets latte he bought was EXTRA yummy, and he is on my EXTRA favorite list for the day. I hope that everyone will acknowledge Sean on their blogs today, for he is a ray of sunshine on this otherwise bleak November day.
