I overheard my spouse announcing to one of our adult offspring that he wants to get a dog. This is after my plea to get a senior cat has been nixed. Hmph.
On the positive side, we are cat sitting this weekend. He may love it. We’ll see.
Lots in Montreal! Haven’t been to one (yet?) but I regularly attend the OSM and Opera de Montréal so am not really in their demographic. I’m also 65.

When we were tweens, my mom let me and my sibs canoe across the lake (at our cottage), make a fire, and cook mac&cheese (KD). Still astonishes me.

#GenHour This week's cautionary tale (well, every week's, let's be honest). Know the agency that created records. If you don't understand the context, you won't realize that Ancesty has auto-filled the port of arrival to the US with the name of the INS district office that kept the paperwork.
Yikes!
