A few weeks ago, I watched my friends' cat, Bigsby, for a few hours as a favor. I had hoped that she would cuddle with me while I worked, but she mostly seemed irritated about the whole situation and stayed in her crate. I tried to salvage the afternoon and capture a cute photo, at least, but only got a withering stare.

This morning I was searching through my photos for a document I photographed at the archive earlier this summer, and I came upon the snap I took of glowering Bigsby. I decided to send it to her owners, who are also academics and devotees of the pomodoro technique.

I thought the conversation would end there, but my friend's creativity had been sparked...

And with that, I think this week's a wrap.
