With Relatives

[ndrosen]

I’m in Pennsylvania with relatives. I did hear a few words from my niece before she withdrew to her room; she’s not a teenager yet, but she’s practicing. My sister’s junior cat is on my lap, and has actually purred. To some people, I’m a friend. To others, I’m a bureaucrat who may be helpful or an obstacle in their attempts to obtain a patent. To others, I’m a Georgist activist. To her, I’m cat furniture.
