   I love that story. I’m very happy for Biscuit and your dad.

   I’m so sorry for your loss. I waited over two years after my previous cat passed before adopting a new one. I’ve had my new cat for almost a year now. He’s a 12-year-old cat whose 95-year-old owner had passed away (I found him on Nextdoor when the old man’s caretaker posted looking for a home for the cat). He’s such a sweetheart, and I’m so grateful that he came into my life.

   The memory of being back at work never leaves you. I’ve been retired for six years, and I still have periodic dreams in which I’m back at work (or even school). Talk about nightmares!

   Calvin made an amateur mistake. The key is to space out questions like this. It’s like those Dateline episodes where you see the murder suspect on surveillance footage buying everything he used to to dispose of the body during one Home Depot shopping trip.

   Our previous cat was a full-grown feral when we adopted him. Unlike most ferals, he liked people, but he was terrified of being inside or confined in any way. We decided to let him live his life on his terms, even though it was dangerous for him to be outside. He had his own insulted house (it doesn’t get terribly cold where we live), a hooded bed on the patio, and a scratching post with a perch on the top that he could sleep on. We put a GPS tracker on his collar so we could see where he was and where he’s been. On average, he spent about half the night in our backyard and the other half exploring the neighborhood, sometimes venturing blocks away. He eventually got comfortable coming inside and would spend all day in his various favorite inside spots, but nighttime was his time to be free. He lived a long and adventure-filled life and passed away of kidney disease at the age of 16.

   I still have dreams like that, and I’m 60 years old!

    There was a Law & Order episode where a detective looked inside a home through the mail slot, and Lennie Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) commented something like, “Be careful. I know a guy who lost an eye doing that.”
