The relativity of fun
When you move to a new place, you inevitably are meeting new people and during each interaction you try to size each other up for friendship. Not even in a judgmental way, but you’re just trying to figure out what’s in the middle of your Venn diagram so that you have something to talk about or…
“Why do cats miaow?” (video)
Grant sent me this, of course he did. This isn’t just a cute cat post though (it is cute), it’s also a interesting summary of animal language research! Also, I thought miaow was a specific type of mewing. But it’s actually the British variation of meow. How silly!
5: Questions I like to ask people I meet

First, let’s set some context. A couple of weeks ago Grant sent me a kind of alarming article, The Tail End, breaking down our lives into moments and the activities we get in them. And so on, into how many winter’s we’ll have in our life, how many times we’ll go to the beach, how…
“The real life cat lady” (video)
Facebook kept recommending that I watch this video and I guess now I’m passing it on to you. Short, well-shot video about a lady who started taking in rescue cats and now has over 700 cats & kittens she takes care of. A little something to break up the day 🙂
