Lis's Project 365

One of the most endearing things about Parker is his tail. It is always bent at the tip into that little question-mark shape. If you pull it out, it will just curl back up. It’s very cute.

I know, I know…I’ve already posted a picture of Parker in a box. But you must admit, he is quite adorable.

Why is a kitty in a  sunny window (or sliding glass door) so irresistible?

oh NO….don’t look at me! I’m HIDEOUS!

Parker sprawls on the floor to demonstrate that he is how weak from hunger he is; he must be fed immediately or face certain death.

You wouldn’t think it would be that challenging to get a close-up a blind cat–you just move in close and take your picture. But the problem is that his head is always moving–listening, smelling, feeling.  But eventually, he did stop for a moment and I was able to get photo.

I’m back to themes, and the theme of the week is…Parker! This could actually be more challenging than one might think because even though Parker is always being cute, he’s generally being cute in the same spot. He’s also not the most cooperative subject. But he is a cute one.

And yes, there will be a week of Winnie sometime too.

Doug and I went to the new LL Bean store in Dedham today. There was a search and rescue team there chatting with customers as they came in. Cute pup.

While answering emails and doing some program planning, I had Ted Kennedy’s funeral playing on the computer as well. I sat there and got all teary eyed, although I’m not quite sure why this is affecting me so much. 

It was actually a very lovely service (except for the heavily Catholic bits but he was a Kennedy after all), but makes me wonder why we always wait until someone dies to say all the nice things.

a pair of gloves (with “science” on them so you know they’re mine) that are also labeled “iguana proof” although they are also useful for handling a cranky snake.

I’m guessing most other people don’t have this sort of thing in their office. Just a guess.
