"Cookie Time", a short play.

Nick, the Abyssinian: Alie, it's time for a cookie.
Alie, the Border Collie: Got it.
Nick: Yeah but tell him.
Alie: You know he's standing there right?
Nick: I've already circled him twice. Do something.
Alie to me: Nick's starting to bug me, how about getting us cookies?
Kathy from off stage: Get them a cookie already.
Me: On it.

My plan worked. I had a much more enjoyable evening watching a Rockford Files show rather than the other thingy.

But today it's back to reality. I've only perused a few articles on the debate, seen a few photos, and caught a couple of clips. Couldn't stomach much.

Yup, as expected, they were pathetic, shameful, disgusting, and unfit.

Here's my take away:
- They'll support Trump even if he's convicted
- The war on woke is over, not even Republican voters care about woke
- They offer no ideas on how to make the lives of average Americans better
- They offer no solutions to the problems we are living with
- They have no compassion for anyone
- They deny reality

"And now for something completely different"*, Nick sleeping.

Nick the Abyssinian and the Duathlon Tri Gear Bag, a short play

Me: You comfy?
Nick: Sort of.
Me: You a new part of my Tri gear pack?
Nick: If I was you'd be faster.
Me: I placed you know, two weeks ago?
Nick yawning: Sure, what ever.
Alie the Border Collie from off stage: Why do you have him? By the way, a cookie would be nice.
Nick, getting up: OK speedy, let's get Alie a cookie.

Nick the Abyssinian, a sad story

Nick: Hay you.
Me: What? I'm busy.
Nick: You know how long I've been sitting here?
Me: Not really. I'm busy, remember?
Nick: Here's the thing, don't care. Besides Alie told me to tell you she wants a cookie.
Alie the Border Collie from off stage: I didn't really, but a cookie would be nice.
Me: Fine, I need a break anyway.
Nick: Good, let's not let this happen again.

A sort play: "Disappointment and Patience"

Nick: You know I'm here right?
Me: I do now.
Nick: I know that patience is one of my virtues, but come on.
Me: That's you, patience cat.
Nick sighing: Do I really have to escalate this?
Me taking out my camera: I'll memorialize your patience.
Nick: Geez, get it over with.
Alie the Border Collie from off stage: Let's get going, I want a cookie too.

Playing with AI

Taking a stroll away from work, to amuse myself, I went to ChatGPT and asked:

"write a short poem about an Abyssinian cat and his Border Collie sister"

And got:

"In a sun-dappled meadow, mid-morning's warm glow,
An Abyssinian cat, with a heart all aglow.
Silent whispers of the moonlight his secret to keep,
With emerald eyes that shimmer in the deep.

There too, dances his sister, vivacious and free,
A Border Collie as lively as a capering sea.
Beneath the sky's vast canvas, black, white, and tan,
She races the wind, as only a canine can.

Together they weave, the day's delicate song,
In a world where love, and only love, belong.
An Abyssinian cat, his Collie sister so spry,
Together they dance, under the wide-open sky."

A previously posted photo of Nick the Abyssinian cat and his Border Collie sister waiting for my presence for a snack. I thought a photo would be nice as part of this post.

Setting: Nick the Abyssinian cat sitting on my desk at the end of the work day.
Nick: It's nice outside.
Me: Kathy and I are supposed to go for a run.
Nick: I don't care.
Me: But we told the group we'd meet them there.
Nick: Alie wants to go out side too. She said she'd chew your shoes if you don't let us out.
Alie the Border Collie from off stage: Nick, shut up, I did not.
Nick: Did too.
Me: Kathy, do you still want to go for a run?
Kathy from off stage: Best to do what Nick says, don't you think?
Nick: See? Told you.

Nick: Ok, I circled your chair, rubbed up against your leg and have been sitting here for like ever.
Me: Yes, yes, I'm finishing up this drawing.
Nick: Hey you, feed me or else the dog gets it.
Alie, the Border Collie, from off stage: Please feed the cat.
Me: I'm on it.

Twitterブルーに登録してもいいけれど、他の人はブルーに登録してないわけよね。そうすると、私がガンガン投稿するわけにもいかない。なので、マストドンに移動してきました。Twitterが制限解除されたらTwitterは続けるけど

Nick’s giving me his opinion of the Supreme Court. We’re in agreement.
