Antares spends most of his days under the comforter on my bed. If only I could get him to come out by changing the wifi password.

I stopped by the XRAY office to meet with the person who is taking over for me. While my tenure has been brief (a little more than two months) the current pandemic circumstances mean this is only my fourth time in the office. And one of those times I wasn’t working this job, I came down to do a different job because I had no internet at my house.

So I never got to use this calendar. But it does have some fun things. Color coding. The list of things we did at the 11:11 check-in, which became the 10:10 check-in. The P.O.

“Breaking Cat News” is one of our newer comics featured in the Oregonian. The guy in charge of picking the comics was initially excited because Georgia Dunn uses watercolors to make her comic.  My intial reaction was along the lines of “we shall see.”  But it’s quite funny, the cats reporting the cat news.  In the time since I’ve been reading it, the “man” and “woman” have added a baby to the household.   In this panel, the cats are reporting that the “baby” has become a “toddler”

Wait for it…

There have been a lot of essays and musings this summer about the Mental Load women carry.  I think this comic nicely encompasses the scenario.  For me, the Mental Load is right up there on the list of reasons I will never have a wedding.  Also, it’s nice to have a term for something I feel acutely.

Also.  Justin Klump!  Did you send them the wrong photo?  It’s the most logical explanation for what’s going on here.  Why would your promo photo not show your whole face?

Recently, the Portland City Council decided it wouldn’t kick in the usual amount of funding for the Oregon Symphony’s Waterfront concert.  This caused the concert to be cancelled.

Here is one man’s take on the situation.

My friend Sue was in town for NCECA (National Council on Education for Ceramic Arts) and we went to gallery shoes.  Aside from seeing my friend Sue (not pictured)  a lot of very good ceramic art, (also not pictured) I enjoyed this sweatshirt.
