Another Friday? Another goat. Have a great weekend (check out the ark)!

Hello! I'm Alice, which is my real name (most of the other names here have been changed, though, to protect the innocent). I live in an almost-100-year-old house in downtown Chattanooga, TN with my first husband, G-Dog (who is from New Canaan, CT), and a cockapoo named Nonnie (the moniker comes from a Laurens van der Post book). We have one kid (that we know of) -- a daughter, Emmie, who plays a supporting role on the blog. She's off being a student, but she pops in often enough to keep things interesting.
I originally hale from Batavia, NY, a quiet little town in rural western New York. G-Dog and I met while attending college in Carlisle, PA, and then moved on to Chapel Hill, NC together before finally settling in Tennessee. Other places we've lived in long enough to have a mailing address include London and San Francisco.
This blog is about a lot of things -- the places I visit, things I cook, people I meet, photos I take, things I read, and -- of course, politics. I'm an unrepentant, arugula-eating, progressive, liberal, lefty, euro-loving, educated elitist and I'm looking forward to an administration that doesn't raise my blood pressure quite as often as the outgoing one did...
That’s a goat? It looks so different, kinda like a sheep, well, what do I know? I really must get outdoors more. Funny looking fellow.
Thanks, Alice.
Shaggy!
It’s a goat — just a long-haired variety. Go figure! Shaggy, yeah.
Her name is Mrs. Oliver and she is an Angoran.
Wow, she sure doesn’t look like a soft, fluffy sweater!
(And I suddenly have an urge to go shop. Nothing like angora in the winter!)
