    We need more kitten pitchers in baseball.

    Callback to a recent Caturday thread…the New York Times’ The Daily podcast had an episode about the Bayeux Tapestry visiting London yesterday.

    How a 1000 Year Old Tapestry Took London By Storm

    For the first time in centuries, the Bayeux Tapestry — a nearly 1,000-year-old piece of embroidery that depicts the invasion of England by William the Conqueror in 1066 — is on display in Britain.

    It was long said by art experts to be too fragile to move. But in a development that required geopolitical persuasion, this summer the tapestry made its way from Bayeux, France, to the British Museum in London.

    When the first block of tickets went on sale, the British Museum said, over 80,000 people at a time waited online to buy them.

    In this episode of the “Sunday Daily,” Alex Marshall, a culture reporter for The New York Times, talks with host Michael Barbaro about why this ancient piece of embroidery matters so much to the British public.

        it’s got some cats, but can’t have any as cute as first-pitch over the plate kitten!

      I’m going to see it on the afternoon of 7th October and have already chosen my outfit for the big day. Yes, I’m getting dressed up to visit the Bayeux Tapestry – that tells you everything you need to know about me!

      That was me on Saturday. I hadn’t been able to shower for 4 days, because I needed to cover my splint and couldn’t do it one-handed.

        How’s the wrist doing?

          Surgery scheduled for Wednesday. Faster and better results than a cast, which I love. Now just crossing my fingers that insurance agrees.

          I’m also evolving into a one-handed wonder, like cats with thumbs!

    I live near Gwinnett, love seeing them highlight rescues and cuteness.

    ChipPER jones supposedly was impressed by the cuteness too

        I love his tongue just hanging out the side of his mouth in his “interview.” 😄
