Happy Lei Day, Sam.

LOL!
Sometimes she's waiting for me to "Touch the pretty white belly" so she can play "Bit Ya" and other such rough play.
She likes to rough house, for a cat her size, and when she starts frisking and racing (charging) around, the rest of the cats try to get out of her way ASAP.

[Mama_Bear]

Hi y'all! Have a great weekend!



Or, Happy Lei Day.........Or, BOTH!

[cyborg]

In my case, happy late-to-work being lazy day :)

[Darksheare]

Willdo!
It's been a better weekend than it's been a week so far.
And I haven't had to run from any turkey, bear, bobcat, or crazed neighbors yet!

[Mama_Bear]

Kinda look like they could be related to the Hooligan Twins, huh?

"Empathy" by Vladan Ignatovic
Image suggested by Billie.

"5 days of Dispair"

Like so many storms arriving from the Northeast
Pounding the Atlantic coast with the sound and the fury
I am set upon by agents of dispair from all sides
Being one used to handling other peoples children
I am usually able to resolve classroom drama easily
Enter dramatis personae of the adult world
Like the spectres of the betrayed
Returning to torment Richard III
A chorus of disdain, criticism, and rebuke
awaits my arrival every day at the office door Things I thought I had resolved, found to be unmade
now festering with miscommunication and secondhand knowledge

By the time the awareness of a dear friend
lost to an insidious and divisive political movement
finally sinks in...
I am as numb to the experience as the bound captive
To the constant clicking of a revolver
inches from his temple
by his captors
