My partner proposed a discussion of philosophers and whether their names are better suited to dogs or cats. Spivak: cat. Socrates: cat. Locke: dog. This eventually leads to the statement "This is my cat, Walter Cronkite" after a debate on Walter Benjamin because ADHD rules this house.

A week visiting family in the Maritimes yielded, among other things, one lobster kissed and about three eaten (some in rolls), one geological finding apparently unusual at the Joggins Fossil Cliffs, one dinosaur made of two cars followed on the road, and photographic evidence of most of the above.
