Bay Area friends: would you consider opening your home to these two cuddly cats? A friend found them behind a gas station. Their sibling, a black cat, got adopted, but it appears no one likes orange cats. They are being kept in a bathroom for the time being and need a home.

A friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?

Husband is reading Wuthering Heights for the 1st time. He’s on Ch. 3 & Cathy just made her 1st appearance. Husband thinks Cathy is alive. He thinks Mr. Heathcliff’s neighborhood is the opposite of Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood. He’s suspicious of Lockwood’s activities & reliability as a narrator.

Been listening to WSKQ’s last hours on air. This is one of the greatest marketing campaigns, ever. Definitely one of my highlights of the year. It’s the radio of my youth and it’s been delightful. And as the station goes off air, I deeply respect their commitment to the bit.

2025 was a rough year. We all knew this. But I just scribbled down 100 good things and successes from 2025 and ended up with over 100, and I didn’t write them all down. I’m so very grateful.

Saw Ella McCay tonight. It felt both sweetly nostalgic and fresh, a film with elements from other eras talking about our now. I loved how the main storyline seemingly diverted into small stories that illustrate the film’s heart. I left the theater delighted and full of hope, which I deeply needed.

Turned on The X-Files and ALL the Gen Z Thanksgiving dinner attendees were immediately and totally sucked in. I’m delighted. (“Jose Chung’s ‘From Outer Space’” for the sweet potato pie, of course)

Husband is reading ACOTAR. I’m having the best time watching him take the emotional journey. He was about to DNF the series in book one when a character used physical coercion on the FMC—he said if she didn’t kill this other character as soon as she had the chance, he was done with the series.

I want a metal cover album of songs from PBS with proceeds going to the CPB. I want the bands to run the spectrum of metal and I want them to not forget 3-2-1 Contact and The Electric Company. Gwar was meant to cover Tom Leher’s “Silent E.”

Not a surprise, but: Going through my closet and struck by the excellent quality of clothes from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s. Even 2000s. All of it usable for quite a while to come while clothes bought last year, even earlier this year, from retailers whose goods once lasted years are falling apart.
