Jack and Dot

Jack and Dot

Our friends Liz and Eric decided they weren’t paying enough attention to their cat Dot and made the hard decision to give her away. They asked. We accepted. And on Thursday, we brought her home. This is a picture from Friday night, after Dot began to get confortable and not so afraid of Jack. More pictures of Dot are at flickr.

From today’s Boston Globe: Gen X Dad. This is quite good and reflects my own experience. I carpool with my neighbor who’s a teacher which means I’m at my desk by 7:20AM. This also means that I can leave between 3:30 and 4:30 depending on whether I’ve taken a lunch break or not. This means that while I do not see Jack in the morning, I get to spend a lot of time in the evening with him every night and put him to bed. It is exhausting. Especially if I have to turn around and work at night on leftover work that cannot wait until morning. But it’s worth it.
