I gave him a few lessons last time on how to use it. A pumpkin cookie with the latte would be perfect. I'll check back in later to see how many are still here. I hate working on holidays!
Lady's Human mentioned he's working this holiday, what he didn't mention is that that is pretty normal for my family. My Dad, before retirement, was a stationary engineer - for those of you not in an engineering family, that's the people who keep your electricity coming day and night, holidays and weekends and every time in between. So holiday dinner times were scheduled around what shift he was working most years. HIS dad was a policeman, police chief in a small town. So working holidays is something we were brought up knowing that people just have to do!

So here, have an extra pumpkin cookie, just so you know how appreciative the rest of us are that you are there, doing your job.
