Instinct dances, instinct dances
Six years ago today, Hestia and Autolycus were born with their three littermates to the black and golden-eyed, polydactyl Hera, Mother of the Gods. In their honor we opened a can of salmon-for-humans and shared it with them tonight. This message approved by Autolycus, still purring gently with salmon.

Ah, you do touch-typing, as taught in generations of high school!
I know - I was one of them. It didn't take. I type, when last I checked, 52 words per minute: 26 per forefinger. (Someone once told me she'd never seen “cop typing” done at such speed! Practice improves anything.)

I was eight! I couldn't write by hand fast enough, so I learned to type, first on one of my father's scratch-built machines and later on a toaster Mac. It's more like seven and a half than ten fingers these days, but it's still efficient.

Thank you! I always think Autolycus looks lovely. So does Hestia, not appearing in this picture by virtue of being curled up most elegantly on her mat.
