We were leaving the Drinking Liberally Lexington meeting at Charlie Brown's last night when we found this stray kitten on the patio of the bar.
It was already pretty cold out, and not going to get any warmer. The kitten appeared to be hungry. We couldn't leave it alone, so we brought her home with us.
She ate voraciously, and settled down in a cat carrier with a towel to sleep on. We kept her in the upstairs bathroom with a litter box, some food and some water. She did just fine over over night.
The other three cats are still trying to figure out what has changed in their world.
I don't know if we will be able to keep her or not, but at least she didn't die all alone out in the cold last night.

This is Dr. Ralph Stanley, one of the very few legends of Bluegrass music. Really, there are only four of them. Bill Monroe, Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs, and Ralph Stanley.
Alison and I were fortunate to see Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys perform this evening at a free concert.
I don't know how much longer Dr, Stanley will be performing. He is 84 years old, and has been performing for 64 years.
I just know I am glad that I got to see him while I still could. Damn. This was an amazing experience.
When I took this photo, he was singing O, Death, from the soundtrack of O Brother, Where Art Thou. A capella. His band had left the stage. I can't express how amazing this moment was.

I've been trying out a new lens I bought the other day. It is a Nikkor 35 mm f/1.8G, which is the equivalent of a standard 50 mm lens we all used on our 35 mm film SLRs long ago.

Even the 21C Museum Hotel penguins were impressed by the University of Kentucky basketball team's win over Arkansas on Saturday. A win that should propel UK into first place in the nation on Monday.
Alison and I spent the weekend at 21C. It was her birthday gift to me. It was an experience I will never forget. It was wonderful to be pampered in luxury. The food at the hotel restaurant, Proof, was amazing.

Sorry I missed Delurking Day yesterday. I really tried to do it. I had been aware of it for a couple of days, but I just couldn't muster the motivation to post.
I did, however, take this photograph, so I guess that's something.
