madrobins: It's a meatloaf.  Dressed up like a bunny.  (Default)
And I'm in New Hampshire, surrounded by green and many cats (including one spectacularly polydactyl named Spike) at [livejournal.com profile] editrx and [livejournal.com profile] baron_elric's house. We had a fabulous dinner and stayed up way too late talking, and now I am drinking very good coffee and am just utterly pleased with myself.

My father is a little frail--well, he's 97--but basically well, and busy. We went out for lobster on Thursday night, and he got a 2 1/4 pound creature that looked larger than he does, but managed to wring every last bit of meat out of it ("I can do lobster by braille," he says happily). So it was a grand visit.

Note on the 21st Century: the Macdonalds at the rest stops on the Mass Pike have Wi-Fi! The internet is all around us.
