In the continuing saga of the aftermath of the flamenco fire, the restoration to clean up the smoke damage on our office is finally underway.

Old Cars, Old Macs & A Selectric II
In the relative ages of cars, typewriters and computers, do an old VW bus and an old Macintosh SE/30 fit the same virtual vintages, as compared to an old IBM Selectric II and a blurry old coupe from the late 1940’s or early 1950’s?
A Kitty & A Bird
Rosencrantz and René were both wanting my attention, and neither one cared much for the critter competition they had going on.
Wild, Wild Life
In David Byrne’s movie “True Stories” there’s a music video to the song “Wild, Wild Life.” Chad’s gravity defying stunts and Liz’s jumps made me think of Wild, Wild Life. The problem with stunts in the limited space of our dance room/photo studio is that both Chad and Liz jumped so high that they got above where I was framing the photos in several shots.
New Year, Nyuu Kitty
I can’t think of a better way to start 2014 than with portraits of a new kitty. This is Nyuu, who belongs to Roxy. I was visiting with Roxy when Nyuu got on her lap — the rest is photo history. Happy New Year!
Black Cats on Black
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern on the black cushions.
Liz & Chad, Chad & Liz
One of our Christmas gifts to Liz and Chad was a photo shoot. The photo session happened this afternoon, and while it got quite wild with dancing, jumping, and gravity defying poses, I’m posting serious photos for a proper introduction. Liz is Laurie’s youngest sister and Chad is her husband. They were married in August.
Classic Kitties & René
Romeo, Tesla and Guildenstern were classic today. We went over the Lane’s house and played with Tesla and he posed for me. Then we dropped by Laurie’s parent’s house and Romeo was disgusted that we walked in smelling of Tesla. Earlier in the day we put carrot cake outside on the deck to cool, and when Laurie whispered “…don’t tell Guildenstern!” he perked right up and looked around to see what we were whispering his name for.
I took René in for his quarterly beak trim. Classical KHFM was playing an opera during our drive to the vet, and when René heard the woman’s voice he started to hoot and whistle like he does when he’s flirting with women. I found it interesting that he reacted the same way to a beautiful voice as he does to a beautiful woman.
Murphy’s Mule Barn
We had dinner with Laurie’s family at Murphy’s Mule Barn Cafe tonight. It’s an old fashioned cafe/diner with interesting people and food.
Visiting Kitty
Lane brought Tesla to the Christmas celebration. He was a little pouffy at first in a stand off with Romeo. Then he ran and played wildly. Romeo still didn’t approve, so it was time out, sit in the corner for Tesla.
