thor is my cat and on sunday he turned 8 years old. we usually have some sort of party for him which is just an excuse to make a big food thing and drink and put a tie on the cat. this year i made it a secret restaurant/birthday combo and did a 25 person brunch. it was sort of insane, but also really not very hard. somehow. it was a sit-where-you-want casual deal which […]
