Special House Guest for a Saturday Snowfall. Rico Had Play Time on Mt. Pleasant and Loved Chasing the Snowflakes

I knew I was aiming for a lazy day (and by lazy, it simply means editing a manuscript, watching college basketball, planning spring courses, and organizing grants. I knew Pam was going to a birthday party so I invited her to bring Rico to me so he'd have the day with Glamis, the backyard, and company. The way he plays is hilarious. Karal is inclined to hide under tables and offer a friendly attack, whereas he runs into the other room and come bouncing, Tigger-style, down a hallway. Both of them box one another with their paws. They did this in rounds for four hours straight. 

There was only one point they settled down on the couch, but I dropped something, startling Rico, and he was not going to nap after that. He's quite the nervous dog.

I did a mini-grocery run to get toothpaste (of all things to run out of) and noodles to go with a chicken dish (was looking to change things up). 

I knew in the evening, however, I wanted to tack season 3 of Reservation Dogs, which I'm loving. I'm especially loving the young actress, Paulina Alexis (Wǎgíyaŋ Čížaŋ or Young Eagle) who plays Willie Jacket. Her character is punky, biting, witty, naive, curious, spiritual, and genuinely good-natured, which makes her fascinating given the circumstances she and the others find themselves in. Bev and Leo told me it was nominated for several awards, and won a few, and I was glad that others are recognizing the brilliance of the storytelling. It is simple, yet deep. Comical, yet poignant and historical. I'm glad I finally stumbled upon it.

We're do for a few more inches today, mixed with freezing rain, which can cause travel trouble for my buddy Torrey Maldonado who is coming to CT for MLK events. Only time will tell. We know scheduling anything in January and February is a risk. And so we roll the die...we roll the die. We'll see what the tea leaves try to tell us.

Hello, Sunday.
