Resistance is Futile
Ranga has taken up a new habit.
Right around 6:30 every morning, he wakes me up for twenty minutes or so of petting. He's quite insistent about this "us" time.
Of course, my alarm clock is set for 7:00, so I am not thrilled about it. Still, it's hard to be upset with a fluffy ball of purr. I suppose I'll get used to 6:30 in the morning.

- Happy birthday, Leo Tolstoy! Everyone remembers his great novels, of course, but you ought not overlook his short stories! I'm particularly fond of Where Love Is, God Is. His non-fiction works are well worth looking at, too!
