Judy & K'naan

This is Judy, looking uncharacteristically relaxed. She's pretty wound-up. You can't just decide to pick her up and pet her - she freaks out. But if you're just sitting somewhere minding your own business, she'll start to gently claw at your thigh and try to hop up onto your lap. Then she'll sit there and purr and you can scratch her neck, but you can't get too embracing because she gets wound up again and jumps off. Showing affection on her terms seems to be her way of being in control. I take what I can get because she doesn't offer it often, but when she sits there, cautiously happy, she is so sweet!

Sorry, I hate the I-love-my-pet thing, but she really is a good one. She was just sitting here, so I thought I'd give her some web exposure and now everything is covered in hair.

What I was going to write about was this: B, k, k's husband and I went to see K'naan the other night. It was at this great venue with the most well-stocked beer fridge I've ever seen - reasonable prices and all. The gig was all ages and normally that means 14-29 or so, but I saw every age from infant to 60+. The people-watching was as good as the show itself, and the show was great. This is the last song he played, which got everyone dancing:



Pretty pixelated, but oh well. You can still see the lovely sunsets.
