Quiet night at the ranch

There's a low-energy mood here in the RD tonight. Otis might be fighting a little sore throat, but I have no excuse. We're just drifting along on the tide of the evening.

Yesterday, we had a little festivation amid the rain and the housecleaning. Dingo and Neds came by to partake of some of Otis's homemade soup, bringing hearty bread and sharp cheese, respectively. It was just the right kind of warm-up -- both the meal and the company -- for a chilly and blustery afternoon. After dinner, we all took a little walk down the avenue and explored the live/work property that Otis would love but which we can't afford.

Today, Otis took herself to LFP for a day with Pater, and NatDog took me to campus to tie up some loose ends. (Said ends are all nicely knotted now and the Cascadia Winter quarter is officially over.)

I bussed back to LFP to meet Otis and we headed down to Tangletown to meet A-Wo to help him celebrate Kay-K's birthday at a Hawaiian-themed joint, complete with little umbrellas in the drinks (well, not in my PBR). Joining in the festivities were two other pals of the invisible couple, shown here and here in their virtual habitats. Nice folks.

There are birdies chirping in the living room, so I think Otis is watching a film.
