Blue Cat Doesn’t Go to the Zoo (again)

Blue Cat likes to go to the zoo – it’s a great place to watch local people and exotic animals (or is that exotic people and local animals?) and there’s always something new to see. But Blue Cat has been missing his family’s weekly trips to the zoo (they are members, you know) and he […]

Blue Cat Changes His Plan

If you’re wondering where Blue Cat’s picture is today, you need to know that Blue Cat loves snow, but doesn’t like driving in it. So today he’s hiding in his creator’s purse – because today Blue Cat learned that a plan is not a recipe, but a guide. That will take a bit of explaining. […]

Blue Cat and New Year Resolutions

Blue Cat’s family’s home teachers came by today. (Wondering what home teachers are? They’re folks from our church who visit once a month with a lesson, and who you can call when you need help with something. Blue Cat thinks they’re very cool.) They gave a lesson on starting anew – since that’s what people (and […]

Blue Cat’s Driving Tips for the First Snow of the Season

As you probably know, Blue Cat lives in Colorado. You’d think that would mean lots of snow, but it’s been pretty dry and warm so far this fall. Until today. Here are some shots from Blue Cat’s front porch proving that it does snow in Colorado: Blue Cat takes a drive every morning, and this morning’s […]

Blue Cat Picks the Wrong Tool

Blue Cat wanted some ice cream, and so he got it out of the freezer and looked for something to dish it out with. Blue Cat has lots of spoons at his house, and so it was easy to find a spoon to do the dishing. And he was going to eat it with a […]

Blue Cat Plans to Influence a Judge

Blue Cat’s scribe is testing for his 3rd degree black belt in Taekwondo, and he’s really worried that he might get a “down-check” at his recommendation test this weekend. Becoming a 3rd degree black belt is serious business, and there’s lots of curriculum he needs to know. But Blue Cat has a plan… Blue Cat […]

Blue Cat and Recovering From Disaster

According to some, the world ends (or at least experiences a major disaster) today. Blue Cat doesn’t think that’s going to happen, but he did experience a minor disaster and saw how improvising and being creative can help you when things don’t go the way you’ve planned. Blue Cat’s creator is going to a party […]

Blue Cat Prepares for an Astronomical Event

Something big is coming, and Blue Cat is getting prepared. No, it’s not the end of the Mayan Calendar, nor is it the last triple date of the century (12/12/12). It’s something a lot more scientific, and a lot more fun, too Blue Cat is getting ready for the Geminid Meteor Shower this Thursday (December […]

Blue Cat Finds His Way

Back in the olden days (when Blue Cat’s scribe was the chief of plans for an unnamed government agency), we used to plan for the future with “roadmaps” – a strategic plan that laid out where we were, where we were going, and how to get there. But that doesn’t work anymore, because the environment […]

Blue Cat Voted – How About You?

Blue Cat took advantage of early voting to cast his ballot in the election – the crowds at the polls really take a toll on him since he’s so short. That’s planning ahead – and realizing your own limitations and strengths. By voting early, Blue Cat didn’t get crushed, and he got a lot of […]
