turn down the heat.

Posted on July 14, 2018 by beth

Standard

glenn frey the cat not the rocker

is really upset

about the ongoing stretch of excessive heat

and has decided

to vocally protest

each night

however

i have a different style

and feel that silent protests

might be much more effective.

  Glenn has never been a quiet guy, he lives to sing, just like his namesake

Love it. Hope you aren’t too exhausted. Maybe if you sing with him for awhile, he will stop, wanting to be a soloist.

Poor Glenn! And even more importantly, poor YOU. I hope Mr. Frey will soon realize that his wails of protest are useless and that you’ll both get a good night’s sleep.

I’m sorry Glenn is so upset about the heat he is letting you know loudly at night but I agree if you try singing with him maybe he will discover his own bed and get some sleep and let you sleep as well.

Yes, Beth! Poor Glenn Frey. . . and you at night. 🌛
We need our sleep. My son comes in from his second job when I am just reaching my REM sleep. No amount of fans can cover his rummaging around. Like a 🐻.
