I spent yesterday afternoon at Jerry and Suzle's "between the holidays" open house party. Quite a bit of good conversation, even the non-cheerful topics like Andi talking about dealing with difficulties after Stu's death. (She also showed off a nice pendant, Stu's last Hanukkah gift to her, based on the design of the Chrysler Building.)
Along with some friends I see fairly often, like Kate and Glenn, I spent a while talking with Nisi Shawl, who I hadn't seen in years, and some people I'd not met before.
Also, Tom Whitmore and Karen Anderson mentioned that they're looking for a home for a cat, and I asked for more information. I came home, talked with Cattitude a bit and showed him the photos and webpage, and then sent an email saying that this doesn't seem to be our cat. It's probably too soon—we still miss Julian a bit too specifically, and haven't been looking for a cat yet, but "this cat needs a home" seemed worth thinking about, at least briefly. When we do look for a cat, in a few months, this time maybe we really will get a black female cat, which was the plan a decade ago when we wound up with Julian.
