Joanna Nesom

We saw her last night with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. The first half was played with the orchestra and was mostly her Ys album. Perfect.

The second half consisted of a mix of The Milk-Eyed Mender and some songs I had not heard before. Wonderful.

If you ever get the chance... it is quite the experience.

Neko

This is our new cat Neko. We got her last weekend at the anti-cruelty society. Her hair was incredibly matted so we just chopped most of it off, but it's normally much longer than Ollie's is. She is the exact opposite of Ollie. She is very affectionate, but still a bit skittish. The only thing they really have in common is they both like food... and only the most recently poured dish of food. We'll have to figure out how to pour both dishes at the same time.

We had to use the webcam to photograph her because our camera is not working very well.
