Apparently, if you are a turtle (named G'Kwan) it is necessary to pee all over the floor before fighting yourself in the reflection on the garbage can.

(I think he didn't pee so much as release his reserve bladder, which turtles do as part of their fight/flight response to make them lighter.)

Asparagus always meant steaming it, then salt and pepper and butter. Not anymore. Thanks to having a copy of "How to Eat" (a present at Christmas, from you'll never guess who), tonight for dinner I had roast asparagus wrapped in prosciutto. With fresh strawberries and cream for dessert. And wine. There had to be wine. Mmmmm.

Scaredy..turtle?

We all know what G'Kwan has been up to. Dymphna, however...well, I'm worried about her. Ever since her experience in the laundry room she's been hiding out. This evening I went looking for her and finally found her in the first place I looked, back next to my bedside table. The reason I didn't see her the first time, though, is that she was over in the corner where the bookcase meets the wall, so I had to go well into the room to see her. She's hiding. Since just a few days ago she was boldly walking all over the house all the time, I think her experience with exploring has scared her. I think she'll get over it eventually, but it's too bad.
