Today is Pearl Harbor Day.
This is the battleship U.S.S. Arizona in the 1930s:

Never forget.

Last year I was not able to do my traditional Pearl Harbor Day post, because one year ago today I was in the hospital having a minor bit of brain surgery.
In the year that has passed since, I’ve progressed quite well, better than expected. I will probably always require a cane to get around… but that sure beats a wheelchair, let me tell you.
I’m never going to be “normal” again, but I’m better than I was when I was at my physical lowest. I was, and continue to be, buoyed by the support of my family and friends. Thank you all.

Kismet is a certified bona fide member of the Mycah Fan Club. He doesn’t try to snuggle with her, but where she goes, he often follows, usually trying to get a paw on her.
Mycah, however, merely wants to be left alone — in this case, to do her “business” in peace.

She’s much more tolerant of Kismet than she is of Packet. One of these days I’ll get a recording of her giving the fluffy lad a very vocal warning to stay clear.
