Praise then darkness, and creation unfinished

julian_tiger was glad, and I think relieved, to have us home after the long weekend (slightly longer than intended--we ran into several delays on the trip home, both mechanical and weather-related). Today, he's been all fine and snuggly; he woke me by washing me, which is a novelty that would grow old quickly if continued. He's also found two new foods he likes--banana pakora, and fresh red plums.

More worrisome, I had to extract him from the bedroom closet twice, and then head him off a third time, while getting out a shirt this morning. One extraction with my left arm, one with a foot. And he has clearly figured out how to open one of the hall closets; fortunately, we don't use that one for clothing.
