I miss the pitter patter. The meows. The softness. I miss the little licks that say, "you are my family." I miss waking up with one or two of them asleep in the nook of my knees. I miss the smallness of them. Little toe beans. I miss them all piled up together. Spilling over the sides of the cat bed they used to fit into all together, but now they've grown. I miss the purrs. How could I forget. The mrruuus that mean good morning. I miss their immediate forgiveness after giving them nasty medicine. I miss visits to the vet. I haven't been there for so long. I miss the camaraderie, the love, the messiness, the life. I miss the parenthood that was thankfully temporary but filled my heart with joy. I miss saying good morning and good night. See you later. I'll be back in an hour.
I miss them, man. My babies.

National Brandied Fruit Day
National Brandied Fruit Day is celebrated on October 20 each year. Brandied fruit is the perfect snack for those who want something spicy along with the delicious sweetness of fruits. You get your fill of alcohol as well as the healthy nutrients of fruits. What’s not to love? Wine is distilled to get brandy, then once the spirit is ready, sugar, spices, and fruits are added to it and heated. This mixture is then stored in a container and preserved for a while before it is ready to be eaten. The fruit of one’s labor is indeed sweet with this treat.
History of National Brandied Fruit Day
In 1313, people began to distill brandy in France as medicine. It was called ‘eau de vie,’ literally ‘water of life,’ because of its brilliant strengthening and sanitary powers. Brandy, because of its antibacterial components and high volume of alcohol, helps with cold and flu, among several other health benefits.
In 1797, George Washington began the commercial distilling of brandy to be sold as liquor, at the persuasion of his Scottish farm manager, James Anderson. Washington adopted the distilling technique that Anderson learned in Scotland. With Anderson’s help, Washington became the owner of one of the largest distilleries in America. Competing against him was Robert Liard, America’s oldest distiller, with his Applejack distillery founded in 1780 (a few years before Washington’s Mount Vernon distillery). Soon, brandy as a liquor grew in popularity in America.
In the 19th century, brandied fruit became popular around the world. Because there were no refrigerators, fruits easily decomposed. Adding brandy to fruits was discovered to be an easy way to preserve them. Apples, grapes, cherries, blueberries, and even peaches — any kind of fruit could be preserved with brandy. And because brandy enhances the flavor and taste of fruits, the combo turned out to be a delicious dessert for adults. It also serves as the perfect snack in winter to warm oneself up.

Mistigram: On July 7 we posted a variation of this #ANSIart screen by AdeptApril for National Air Traffic Control Day, but today is the _Inter_national Day of the Air Traffic Control_ler_. Subtle distinctions, you see, but either way they're responsible for keeping your jet airliners from colliding in mid-air both nationally and, it turns out, internationally, so hats off to them!
