Happy Friday! Hopefully you are safe and healthy as we head into the weekend.

For Advent, some gamers have devised a calendar of RPG goodness.

Meanwhile, if you'd like a portrait of your pet drawn by someone with little artistic ability (but a lot of goodwill and humor!), consider this charity drive, won't you?

However, the pandemic continues unabated, and here's one story from Paris.

From Cassandra: What can cats teach us about life?

Also from Cassandra: There's a meteor shower coming up! Unfortunately, it's supposed to rain here, but you might be luckier, depending on where you live.

Have a safe and spiffy weekend, everyone. See you next week.
