Brother Dave dropped by en route to Chicago last night, so I didn't have a chance to get a shot of the little lady. Happily, I had this yoga pose in reserve from last week.
Dave and I ate at La Baguette, a locally owned restaurant. He had sole, I had pasta. The food was pretty fair — best I've had all week, honestly. Brother Dave will be eating mostly fast food for the remainder of his trip, so this is the best food he'll have until he gets home, sometime next week.
The service was exceedingly slow. We got there a little after 7, and left around 9:30. I remarked the pace was positively European. But, it gave us a chance to visit.
I asked Dave about the current divide in our country. He believes the labels "conservative" and "liberal" have lost their meaning, given how many politicians on one side of the divide have endorsed a candidate from the other. For example, David Eisenhower's support of Kerry, or Zell Miller's <ptui> support of the Chimp.
He sees the divide as being between those who argue from facts (e.g., Wm F. Buckley) and those who argue from faith. And faith here would mean not necessarily religious or denominational faith, but political as well.
Once we got home, DJ got to meet a new stranger. She's not met many — a few at work, the lady who cat-sat while I was at Winfield, and Elsie — so I was interested to see her response to Brother Dave. Dave's a big guy — a few inches taller than me — and she felt threatened. I was taken aback when her tail fluffed out.
But, she's adaptable. Within ten minutes, she was attacking his shoes with gusto. Reportedly, she did not attack him during the night (he slept on the couch), but instead played with her little plastic ball with the bell inside.
