Right now it’s quiet. Sabrina is on a quest to locate her favorite toy, and Marcus has walked off to explore something wonderful to sleep on in Mother’s closet. I may get a few minutes alone without Sabrina vocally chiming in while I write, or Marcus hopping down onto the keyboard to make some urgent edit he feels essential.
Who do I spend the most time with? Well, yesterday I got to take my wife out on as close to a date as we get these days. We went to a local natural food store and then to a lovely confectioner‘s called Concord Teacakes. We sat, gazing out at the street scene passing by, and simply held hands. It was peaceful.
But I evade the issue. Who do I spend the most time with? I’d love to say it was my wife. But I’m in the office a lot, and she works nights and sleeps during the day…so it’s the cats.
Mind you, they take their duties seriously. Marcus is not afraid to be censorious when needed, and Sabrina hates the Harvard comma. Of course there is a price to be paid in treats.
I’ve held the line and refused to pay them by the word!

Ha. Love your description of your cats’ supervision. One question, though. Just what is the Harvard comma? In competition with the Oxford comma? Must research.
Okay. Looked it up. It is another name for that dread Oxford comma, which is the greatest bone of contention between Forgottenman and me. I revile it…he insists on its usage.
Iuse it because the damn softwareI use has a bit if I don’t.
You can’t change that?
Don’t use it and get unfiltered Lou spelling and punctuation, or use it and have it pontificate on grammar.
I’m getting so tired of having AI pop up as I’m writing to people and asking if I’d like to improve on what I’ve written. NO I DO NOT!!!! And I don’t know how to turn it off.
Same here: spelling and grammar, OK. AI rewrite, NO!
Darn little punctuation Czars!!!!
Holding hands and having teacakes, it doesn’t
get much better than that.
not when it’s your honey!
I agree. That’s beautiful.
