Thanks, Andrea, for taking in an older cat. I hope everything goes smoothly for all the members of your household.

Last night I turned off the tv and played a bunch of CDs that I haven't listed to for a while. It was a better use of electricity, that's for sure. Then I poured myself some wine and started sorting thru my CD collection-- grouping by type & alphabetizing. Got about one-third back onto the rack. That group is what I want to listen to first, to see whether I find things I want to learn. That will by my autumn-into-winter project.
