I was in Denver late last month and went geocaching. This spot was my second find. Let me just say that urban caching is for the birds.

Henry Aaron Jones, 1993 - 2009
Henry passed away this morning under the very best and most peaceful of circumstances.
She will be missed for her quick temper, her inability to hold a grudge, her joy in playing with puffballs, her beautiful green eyes, and her ability to make six pounds sound like sixty coming down the stairs.
She loved being brushed and had a tendency to sit at the utmost edge of the countertop. It's there we will miss seeing her the most.

Keeneland!
bk and I are off to Keeneland on Friday. We've got friends who made reservations in the Equestrian Room so we'll have the best of both worlds in that we can wear comfy clothes ("Denim is permitted"), and we're right on the finish line sitting down.
I might even have a cocktail!
p.s. Old broads need to stick together so my money is on 5-year old Candy Cane in the 9th.

Henry is dying.
I know that is not the most encouraging phrase to title this with ... but it is very true.
Henry is dying. She has a tumor. It's a large tumor. If she was a person they would make a National Geographic special about it and give her a name -- she would be The Golfball-Face Kitty.
But she is, nevertheless, dying.
I have great confidence in my veterinarian. He gave me the expensive option and I choked up and said, "Serious?" and then he gave me another option and I said I like this pet, I don't want that, and he said, that's the right choice. If it was my kitty, that's what I would do.
It's all tragic. I hate oozing ointment in her eyes at night. I distrust every unevenness in her coat. I wonder where she is when she hides under the bed. I wonder how much is fear of the butt-sticking vet and how much is fear of pain. I miss her.
I miss her, already. Good luck, Henry.
Elliott and I wish you well. We miss you, honey. Please, sleep through it.

Ikea
This is so wonderfully cheesy! I love Ikea, and what's great is that the murder that happens at about 3:30 -- I have two of those pillows and I love them!

The Swell Season
I love these folks and saw this video on NPR.org so it's probably not new.
The best link you'll follow all year ... maybe ...
I think all 33:43 minutes are lovely.

What a class act. Wait -- who let them in here?!
You know the wedding video was really fun, I have watched it a couple of times, but I never realized who sang the song. Apparently that video went viral, and the young couple shown at their wedding decided to try to do something good with their 15 minutes.
Good on ya, crazy kids.
BTW - the reference on their page to "the circumstances surrounding the song" are that it's sung by Chris Brown, a tad bit famous himself for beating up his girlfriend an hour before the two of them were supposed to perform at the Grammys.
