I spent most of the day working on reading data and putting it together, and I just couldn't (can't, may never be able to) get the R function merge() to, you know, merge. My two data frames, that is. I had reached a frustration point where screaming was becoming a rather promising option, when Mac jumped onto my desk.

You'll remember I've mentioned that Mac likes to flop across my desk and get scritches (don't tell desperance, but I think Mac likes the way I scritches best, but that's OK, because Barry doesn't). While I'm actively working on classes, like today, I gently turn him away. But now, at this moment, his timing was perfect. I moved the mouse and keyboard out of the way, and scritches away. He particularly wanted his eyebrow ridges rubbed, this time.

And now I'm in the living room smelling the Best Chili* in the World(R) cooking in the kitchen. I'll merge my data frames as soon as I merge with the chili.

*It's the U.S. It's chili.
