I'm watching the Celtics game, and Jason Stone Injury lawyers ("the official injury lawyers of the Boston Celtics") is giving away free game tickets to first responders. So I'm sitting here considering the ethical obligations of a car accident firm giving free tickets to folks who may well be witnesses in their cases (what has being a lawyer done to me?!) and I thought of you. Now that you know way too much about how my brain works, you said when we had our zoom coffee that we should get irl coffee. I now know when I'll be in town: the afternoon of 1/22 through the morning of 1/25. You get first dibs on the unending train of caffeine I tend to consume when I'm out there! Are you around those days? If so, would be great to meet in person, either for happy hour or coffee!”

I don’t know how to begin to describe this, but I’ll try. A tabby cat is sitting on a navy cable knit throw blanket strewn on a grey couch. He is hun he’d over so his face is betweeen his legs, like he’s folded himself in half. His hind legs are sticking up on either side of his ears. His tail is wrapped around him, hiding just how close his nose is to his butt. He is asleep.
