But one of Nu's other dreams came true today--he was able to spend some time with Judy and Betty--MB's brindled mice. Nu has always loved mice--until today only in theory and as stuffed animals--and was amazingly gentle and confident playing with them. Judy and Betty--named for the sisters in White Christmas will retire from their work as lures for the kestrels MB is banding--so their job is to act cute and tasty--at the end of Jan. At which point, MB would like to offer them to Nu as a present. It'll be an uphill battle convincing Big A, but Nu and I together can be pretty formidable. (I'm terrified and ick-ed by mice, frankly; but Nu enjoys them so much.)

I'm sorry you couldn't get tickets. I heard it was absolutely crazy.
Mice are cute. We have an old house our pest control company rep once called "porous" and we often have mice. We do set lethal traps sometimes when we're really overrun, but most of the time we use humane traps and release them in the woods on the other side of the creek. Or when Matthew was alive, he used to dispatch them. Xander never had any interest. (He was a lover, not a fighter.)
Awww, that is very cute.
I heard the uproar over tickets for Taylor Swift, but I don't know what the actual cost was. Remember when you could go to concerts for under $20? Of course, this is like 35 years ago, but still.
StephLove, we have mice too--hence Big A's hesitation.
Aw, sweet Xander!
Nicole, the Tears for Fears show I went to over the summer was 60 or something like that. The Taylor tickets were climbing into the 1000s.
