Beau Man loves to settle into my chair, especially after I’ve warmed it up sitting there for a while. This is his I’m-too-cute-to-move position, which he waits to take right when I walk up and see him. Usually when he’s like this I pick him up and then sit down holding him in my arms. It’s a 50/50 chance he’ll stay there, otherwise he walks off, waits five minutes, then comes back to lie in my lap. Who knows what’s going on in that feline mind.

My wife is still recovering from major back surgery. Part of her recuperation is for me to go out and get something for lunch. Today it was a wheat-and-smoked-turkey wrap from a local sandwich shop. I got a chipotle turkey sub on multigrain (with chipotle mayo and chipotle cheese — there’s a pattern here). While there I picked up this small apple pie. I didn’t realize special the price was until I got home and looked closer. Yes, someone has a gentle sense of humor in the bakery.
