Two dogs and one cat
Keepin’ it low-key at Casa Jaquandor this weekend. I hope you’re doing the same. (But not at Casa Jaquandor, because that would be weird.) Not pictured is Rosa, the other gray cat in our home. No particular reason, I just … Continue reading
A Reminder…

Something for Thursday
Here’s something weird: a cosmic-rock power ballad by a brother-sister duo known more for their soft-rock love songs, which is actually a cover of a song by a Canadian band named for the hero of one of the most famous … Continue reading
