I had no idea why Margie was holding a pan with a football in it on her lap. "Are we going to have boiled football for dinner tonight?" I asked.

It turns out, she didn't know why she had it there, either.

Somehow, I think this guy was behind it. Kalib comes to get the football.

It would appear that Melanie is simply giving Jim a few pets, but all those intimately familiar with the game of American football will recognize this as the famous "Black Cat Fake."

The "Black Cat Fake" worked! Melanie snags the football!

What a catch! She proves herself to be the greatest receiver in the world.

What a pass! She proves herself to be the greatest quarterback in the world.

Whoa! What an interception! She proves herself to be the greatest defensive back in the world! This is my daughter and I am damn proud of her - even when there is no football involved.

The football is put away. Charlie and Royce chill. Charlie knows about cats. Cats know about Charlie.

 

*Although I have scheduled this to appear Tuesday, November 10, I actually made this post on Thursday, November 5. There are two reasons for this: 1: whatever bug it is that has got me down has left me unable to concentrate to the degree that I must to do my work. 2: The project that I have been working on is very nearly done, but I have never brought such a project to a close without going full-bore, night and day, on it at the end, distracted by no other tasks, including this blog.

So, before I go to bed, I am going to put up several days worth of posts from photos that I have recently taken but have not used. Then, for the next several days, I will not blog, I will stay away from the internet as much as possible and just bear down on getting this job done - but my posts will keep coming.

I think Kalib with get three of those posts, two at the very least.
