Don't forget in doing your estimates to remind your accountant (assuming you use sch C and a lot of income is self-employment income, which he'll know!) your tax rate may be lower for 2018 income taxes.

If you're on W-2's mostly, never mind.  He'll already know what to do.

I have been to bank and picked up the mail.  Thatch seems to have forgiven me for the Terramycin; he's been strolling past me and rubbing against my legs to be petted, then he lies on the floor for me to rub his tummy.  Annabelle spent some nap time lying in my lap.  At one point I heard all these bird sounds and thought, the birds are sure noisy on the fire escape.  Sure enough, there were pigeons on the fire escape but I think the sounds were coming from the cats!  Annabelle trills all the time when she's really happy, and I think she was chirping this morning with Thatch.

Incredible kitties.

I must give the nod to Birch, or whichever one is on the right in the picture of the three.  In that photo, she looks exactly like my long-ago Muffin.

This kitten looks a lot like the next kitten I am not getting.  Look at the white around the eyes.  I love this look.

That's Acorn.  You have to look closely at their fur patterns.

Muse Margaret loved the reinvention of the character and all the new dialogue and the handful of other changes, so all is well and well is all.  I've done nine pages so far and if I'm feeling my oats this evening I'll try to do another seven or eight.  I have four or five more pages to go in the sequence I'm in, then it will be the final twenty pages or whatever it actually comes out to be.

DR Laura, PuppykittyNYC has three kittens for you!  Meet Maple, Acorn, and Birch.

Isn't one of them mislabeled? The one on the far right in the first photo, labeled Birch, is the one that's labeled Acorn in the second photo. If the first photo is correct I'd say that the kitten on the right in the second photo is Birch, not Acorn.

TOD;

I liked MOONSTRUCK quite a bit, but everyone kept raving about how great Cher was. I felt Cher was OK, but it was Nicholas Cage who I thought was great. He wasn't known then, so people ignored him. I haven't seen a lot of his movies since, but found him so-so in those I did see.

Today we clean the house for the housecleaners who are coming out tomorrow.

Clean or straighten?

Mostly straighten, but definitely some cleaning of a few areas I wouldn't expect anyone to go near, or wouldn't want them to.  For instance, I always clean the cats' eating and pooping areas.  I'm just using "clean" in a very all-inclusive sense here.

Is anyone watching the Masterpiece Theatre production of Victoria besides me?  Tonight I cried like a baby at the final scene between Queen Victoria and the dying Lord Melbourne. I liked the first season, but this season, with the Mudlark, problems of family, politics, and intrigue is even better.  Great casting, to boot.  Diana Rigg has a wonderful role as one of Victoria's ladies in waiting; just when you think she's no more than a boring old lady joke, she surprises you.

If I had known Diana Rigg was in it, I’d have been watching it.

Jane, I didn't feel season 5 was as strong as the previous seasons. It got off to a slow start, but it did warm up and reach typical A PLACE TO CALL HOME fireworks. I would encourage you to stay with it. There are some events later in the season which you should see, some unexpected twists. There's a season 6 in the works, so you'd want to see season 5, assuming season 6 is back to their usual standards.

Watching a Balanchine documentary on his birthday. Peter Martens does not come off bad, but he doesn’t come off exactly good either. Sadly the director didn’t get the basic fact that people watch dance documentaries to see dancing. There wasn’t much for the first 25 minutes.
