It’s not quite Spring yet, but it kinda feels like it today. I honored the pleasant weather with this:
I’ve also opened some windows. The cats haven’t connected the two events yet, but they will.

Amazon Boycott
There has been an organized amazon boycott underway for the last week. It started on the 7th of March and ends today on the 14th. I have been as successful as I can be in joining the boycott. I haven’t shopped at amazon or knowingly shopped at a site that amazon owns. I haven’t watched anything on amazon prime video. I haven’t knowingly used the news services they own, or even used imdb. The most difficult part was not using audible while driving in and out of Boston and to and from work this week. I am a bit of an audiobook junkie when I am driving and not touching my audible account was a little tough.
The question I have is, did I unknowingly use amazon web services? I think a huge chunk of the internet is hosted by amazon. There’s a good chance that I went somewhere that is paying money to amazon for their web hosting needs. I don’t think I could have avoided that at all. Hell, for all I know this very page is hosted by amazon. I hope not, but who knows?
For the things that I could actually control though, I have managed to play along. I just have to continue not giving amazon any business until midnight tonight. I can do it.
In the meantime, here’s a photo a day picture of a cat. Hopefully Flickr, the site I use to host the images you see on this goofy little page, is not hosted by the amazons. That would be disappointing.
Home
My wife got home a few hours ago. I got home a few minutes ago.
The cats clearly could not possibly care less.
In on the Fun
Just for completeness sake, Lily is enjoying the open windows too. It’s not just Robin who is in on the fun.
Windows Open
The temperature hit 60 degrees today (Fahrenheit) so I opened the windows. Robin Sparkles approves.
Confused Cats
They had the house to themselves last night and I expect there was a great deal of confusion. They are trying to shrug it off today though. Look at them being all calm, cool, and collected… now that I am home again.
Are You Getting Tired of This?
I sincerely hope that you, my dear readers, are not getting tired of constant pictures of cats looking lazy and uninterested in the world around them…
Because I am not going to stop posting them… ever.
Prelude
They were playing nicely together, grooming each other like good cats.
Five minutes later they were trying to decapitate each other. Oh well.
Nap
She looks like I feel.
Still On… So Far
First, allow me to say thank you to Lily the cat for sitting still this morning so that I could take a picture of her in the mostly dark room without the iPhone’s low light functionality turning her into a blurry mess. Thanks, Lily Pad!
Next, all of my Sunday plans are still on. Fingers crossed it stays that way. No word about canceling band practice. No one has backed out, and our meet time is less than two hours away. It’s never going to be back to normal if we can’t get at least two weeks in a row in, know what I mean?
Fingers crossed.
My step son is coming over today. He’s not here yet. I hope he gets here before I leave for practice, but if he doesn’t that’s fine too. I’ll have the whole day post-practice to hang around with him.
