When Lucky first came to our apartment, he was a kitten who had been living rough; a feral cat living on the Native Reservation south of Hamilton proper, near Grand River. He was found at a gas station; probably one of the ones owned by GRE, the company I did graphic design for back in the Noughties. He ( Read more... )

Okay, once again, I’m a little short on words. I want to talk about Lucky, but today just isn’t the day.

So instead, here are four photos I took of the booth we set up at Art Crawl last Friday:

So Dawn and I were planning on bringing out the art for the World Music Festival at Gage Park. We even have the Good Ship Ghettotastica just about ready to go. But our sore backs and the weather are making us think twice. Very tough call. Wet art and no tent, you see, are a bad combination.

We might just ( Read more... )

…and Dawn sold several of her new art piece magnets. I sold nothing, but it was a fun evening, over all. Didn’t get to see any galleries or studios, as we set up early and stayed until 11, and didn’t get home until midnight. I also didn’t see everyone I hoped to, but I saw some important friends and ( Read more... )

Lucky is in the Beattie Animal Hospital for a few days. Some very nice and helpful ladies (who really need to update their server network) are looking after his formerly-blocked bladder and any problems that may have engendered.

The price tag? So far, $1540.00 dollars, fortunately being paid in two ( Read more... )

There’s an earth mover outside squealing away that could seriously use some oil. Dawn has been woken early because of it. I’ve been listening to old music I recorded in the past year or two, as well as a few tracks from decades ago. This one piece I did, though was for one of our cats, Charlie, who died ( Read more... )

Good Morning, Mackronauts. Hope you’re having a nice weekend.

I’m trying to make myself write five thousand words. It’s going very slowly. Soon, I will be moving to the sofa to trick my brain into thinking I’ve taken it to one of those trendy bistros or cafés to write in. I am listening to Steve Hackett ( Read more... )

Our silly kitten is sitting in the kitchen window trying to coax the birds down from the hedge to the lawn to eat the yummy bird seed we put out there (in part so they don't spend all day eating stuff out of the garbage bins, but mostly so the cats can watch their favourite program), but hasn't figured out that the reason they won't come closer is ( Read more... )

Good Morning, Campers!

I believe I missed a birthday the other day. *sends belated Birthday Hugs to kazbabyI still haven't finished TERMINAL MONDAY, the NaNoWriMo novel that refuses to end. It's not strictly how that project works, but for the last three Novembers, I've been trying to finish the same novel. I've technically reached the finish line every ( Read more... )
