Marvelous Monday: Week 25

Our visitors are back home in Colorado, and I hope they had a great time in Minnesota. (I'll have a more extensive recap of their visit later in the week!)  With everything that was going on, I kind of felt like I was out of town myself! I'm settling back into the routine this week, so I'll begin with a Marvelous Monday.

1. I got a new Kindle notification from the library today! Quiet, that book about the power of introverts, is waiting for me somewhere in the internet.

2. Wish is not known for getting into our belongings. Knock on wood: he does not chew shoes, rummage around in our clothes, or mess around with...well, anything, really.  This morning I was in another room and noticed that it was Too Quiet in our home, a strong indicator of trouble when a dog is present. "WISH! Where are you?" I called, and he came running out of our bedroom...tangled up in my cell phone, the charger, and the plug-in, which had been plugged into the power strip when I left the room. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? My only valid guess is that I sometimes keep my phone in the same pouch-belt where I keep his treats, so maybe there were appealing microscopic treat crumbs that he tried to grab. I will have to watch this in the future, but this morning, it was hilarious.

3.  I've been meaning to post about this for ages, and today is the perfect occasion!  Thanks to my sister for recommending Humans of New York to me. The page's premise is "the photographic census of New York, one portrait at a time," and it is truly one of my favorite concepts I've ever encountered.

The human portraits are amazing, but today's photo really grabbed my attention:

As a one-dog walker, I cannot even wrap my mind around this.  But I love it.

4. And speaking of New York, part of my heart was celebrating there this weekend (metaphorically, just to be clear). Two friends from college got married, and I wasn't able to attend. I wish them many-many-many years of happiness and adventures together!

5. Finally, I heard "Everlong" by the Foo Fighters two times on the radio in a span of about 15 minutes today. It totally ruled.

Hope your week is starting out well, Reader. Do you have any book recommendations for me?  Any mischievous dog stories?  Favorite late '90s alt-rock songs?  Share them in the comments below!
