28Mar26: “…want the kitty food? Yer the kitty!

So begins feeding time at this home.
Andy waits, then decides it’s kitty food time. He wastes most of it, being a proper fastidious kitty, then takes a…

…drink in his fountain next to his wet food feeding station. Dry food and treats are his favorite, but he needs more taurine in his diet than these provide. A supplement is added to his wet food for that. (One plays this game of trying to get a healthy balance among his food sources, but it never works out predictably!)

Since he doesn’t read the Sunday Times, quaff port, or smoke cigars, Andy does the best best thing: he prepares to take a post breakfast snooze in a comfortable spot.

Years ago, a friend at work told me she was taking a bit of time off to visit her family in Mexico.

“Virginia, if you think of it, could you bring me a…
…small Mexican souvenir. You know, something not touristy or stereotypical of the country? Thanks, buddy!”

She brought me this coin! Love it! Love it!

Who is Juana de Asbaje? That’s your homework today, Dear Reader. Extra credit if you can tell the story of the eagle eating a snake on a cactus and how it ended a migration to find a place to build a major world city in it’s time and now, same city, different landlord. Mexican history is incredibly rich pre- and post- Conquistadores. Carlos Fuentes  celebrated it in many of his books. That’s another Google-worthy name and destination. If you enjoy Latin American authors, Fuentes isn’t terribly hard reading, just intense and rich in history, with allusions to spirits of earlier times!

“Santa?”

“No. kid! Let go of my leg, or I’ll thump you.”

I wouldn’t say or do that. When it happened to my bearded brother, he just went along with it. Dick was a very nice man!

Why are there food photos? It seems amazing to others that I eat, let alone can prepare “normal” food. Yes, tea and breakfast burritos for my morning meal.

A little Andy “stuff.”

I think Andy…

…is ready for a nap.
