He certainly had a better career than his grandson Mark.

After a fun weekend at our local ComicCon (our first time!), I decided to cap it off with a little something* for myself. 💙📚🖊 #booksky * - another doorstop of a book, just what I need

Front cover of the book Stalingrad by Vasily Grossman

Day 40 of #Middlemarch. 😱 With any luck I'll be done in another week. There's light at the end of tunnel! #booksky

Wrestler Lio Rush is fine. He is grinning & his eyes are looking off to the side he is definitely fine.

Drop something ENORMOUS 🗽🦖🖤🦕🐳

Rude boy #cats #catsofbluesky

Finn, a brown & white tabby, has just rudely flopped down on my book as I was about to read

The only flag I pledge allegiance to. #mst3k

Mike, Crow, and Tom Servo on the Satellite Of Love with a flag that says "e pluribus join us". Mike is saluting the flag, Crow has his mouth open and look giddy, Tom is dressed in fancy old-timey clothing with a black hat on his head and is holding a (fake) musket

A live look* inside the #Cubs medical facilities. * - for real, absolutely not fake

A Simpsons meme re: the Cubs' ongoing injury woes.

Ralph Wiggum (as doctor): Hello, I'm Dr. Stupid. I'm taking care if your pitching staff!

Ralph: Oops, you're injured!

Jed Hoyer: I never liked that Dr. Stupid!

Happy #Caturday from our sweet little cinnamon roll, Penny. #cats

Penny, a petite ginger girl, is sitting on her dad and looking attentively at her mama who is wielding the camera

Of course

Happy birthday to Finn, our handsome little flerkin! How you've grown from a wiry little guy (left photo) to the loafiest of loafs. 😻 #cats #catsofbluesky

Two photos of Finn, a brown & white tabby, from when he was just under a year old. He is seeing his new home for the first time and his eyes are wide with excitement.

Finn, a brown & white tabby, is stretched out on the carpet. Notice his cute lil nubby tail.

Finn, a brown & white tabby, is ever so excited for his birthday. He is zonked out on his dad's lap.

New day, same position. I need to go to work, sir. #cats

Finn, a brown & white tabby, is once again in his favorite spot, draped over my legs with a visible front leg hugging me

Someone missed us after we were gone on a road trip for five hours. #cats #caturday

This is a cat check point. Relinquish your most recent cat picture on your phone.

Finn, a brown & tabby, lies on his side with eyes barely half open

Morning nuisance #cats #catsofbluesky

Finn, a brown & white tabby, lies on a book I am attempting to read & looks very pleased with himself

Derek@thomsirveaux· May 12

No willpower whatsoever. Sad, really. #booksky

Penny, our petite ginger girl, sits demurely next to a copy of the new Douglas Stuart book John of John

Cubs complete the sweep without needing a walkoff. How dull. (That 9th inning, though.) #Cubs

Going to attempt to get back to posting more this coming week. (He says late on a Saturday night, when it's easy to make boasts you may not fulfill.) Life has felt like nonstop "lather, rinse, repeat" & what's interesting to post about that? Anyway, here's a late #caturday post as recompense.

Finn, a brown & white tabby, lies like a big hairy log on the top of our couch with some stray rays of sunlight landing on him

W/o downloading anything new where are you mentally

Our child as a wee one, pressing his face against the mesh of the pack n play that he is in

We can't have nice things.

A boy & his cat #cats #caturday

Finn, a brown & white tabby, rests on his human dad with eyes half closed and a paw tucked under his chin so that a few pink toe beans are showing. A tiger hawk mirror which I've had for over 30 years hangs on the wall in the background.

The contented face of one who was treated to a slice of bread. (Once in a great while I'll give him some bread to lick & nibble on.) #cats #catsofbluesky

Finn, a brown & white tabby, is getting sleepy & draping his front legs over his human dad's left arm

My partner made this for me, the Fenneko fan boy. 😁

I was planning to treat myself for my bday, but then MIL stepped in with a gift card. 😄 📚💙🖊 #booksky
