Memory of Chris


I get emails from Google called “Your memories from this day.” The email features a collage of photos taken on this day. One photo caught my eye.

This photo of Chris and me was taken by my wife on March 26, 2016. The quality is poor, but the memory is rich.

I Missed Frankie’s Gotcha Day


We adopted Frankie eleven years ago on the eighth of February, which means I missed his Gotcha Day by over two weeks. Fortunately, he doesn’t seem too upset about it.

When we adopted him, he was estimated to be three years old, so we also celebrate his birthday at this time. If I remember right, he was in captivity for about three months before we adopted him, so he might actually be three months older than fourteen.

Photo Friday: Frankie Surveys His Territory


Our association comprises six houses arranged in an L shape around a common vacant lot. Between each house and on each end is a six to eight-foot decorative wall. Frankie had jumped onto these walls about three times and attempted to jump a couple more times before I stopped him.

Here he is on the wall at the opposite end from our house. I think he has declared the entire area his.
