So glad Rob rebounded in time for his party; that must have made you rather nervous. I’d enjoy seeing photos with your SAD if it’s not too much trouble. I think it’s rather funny that your cat goes up on the roof; I’ve never seen a cat do that before.
I am not a fan of Tacorita. I much prefer Taco Mama. We used to eat at Amsterdam (the one closer to campus) frequently. We need to go back. I’m not a fan of the one in Moore’s Mill though. I think the X crossing change has gone smoothly. I still see people crossing when they shouldn’t, but it hasn’t been as bad as I expected.
Your cat on the roof just cracks me up! What a cute picture!
That sounds nice to have Alex home for a few weeks.
