When the Ordinary Becomes the Extraordinary

Romo

Now that I no longer work in Adams Morgan, I only see Romo once or twice a week. I was surprised to see this BBC article a couple of months ago. Unaware of his fame, Romo was just the doggie in the window by the bus stop. What I’ve always liked about him is attitude. Traffic, passersby, people waiting at the bus stop, Romo ignores them all most times and focuses on whatever he chooses. He’s in the window because that’s where he wants to be.

Speaking of pets with attitude, Toupie had a spate of mischief of Friday night that has left enervated most of yesterday and this morning. Near midnight Friday, after playing with toys, repeatedly running the length of the apartment, furious play with a stack of post-it arrows, we got into over the trash bin near the computer table. Several times, he knocked it over and dived in with head and paws looking for something he could turn into a toy. I finally solved the problem by removing the trash bag. In between his hijinks, I made progress on the She’s Electric Skirt. The rounds are long, but it is an enjoyable knit.
