    Text - I Pinned Tweet Aaron Reynolds @aaronreynolds I've started a new evening ritual: I leave all my technology inside except my Walkman, and I get into the hammock in the back yard and listen to an album from start to finish. My cat has been curious about this new habit, and l've been trying to coax him into the hammock – - 7:38 am · 23 Jun 2020 · Tweetbot for iOS 15K Retweets and comments 40.1K Likes

    Text - Aaron Reynolds @aaronreynolds Tonight was some Rolling Stones – I've never really given them a fair shake, so l'm working through the Stones in Mono box set – and like clockwork, my big grey lump of a cat shows up. I make some space and start patting the hammock and asking him to jump up 7:41 am · 23 Jun 2020 · Tweetbot for iOS 89 Retweets and comments 4.4K Likes <>

    Text - Aaron Reynolds @aaronreynolds And to my delight, he decides to climb into the hammock! Except not in a very cat-like way. Huh. At this point I should let you know that my backyard is very dark and I don't see well. 7:43 am · 23 Jun 2020 · Tweetbot for iOS 103 Retweets and comments 4.7K Likes >

    Text - Aaron Reynolds @aaronreynolds The raccoon stares at me for a while. Like, "you invited me up here, now what" Now what indeed 7:45 am · 23 Jun 2020 · Tweetbot for iOS 156 Retweets and comments 7.9K Likes >

    Text - Aaron Reynolds @aaronreynolds So I very slowly put one foot down and then the other on either side of the hammock and slowly try to stand up. I'm maintaining eye contact with the raccoon as if my life depends on it. 7:47 am · 23 Jun 2020 · Tweetbot for iOS 55 Retweets and comments 4.6K Likes >

    Text - Aaron Reynolds @aaronreynolds Here is my second miscalculation of the evening: as I take my weight off of the hammock, the raccoon starts to slide towards the middle. I am straddling the hammock and the raccoon is sliding straight at my crotch and all I can think of is the laser scene in Goldfinger. 7:49 am · 23 Jun 2020 · Tweetbot for ios 117 Retweets and comments 6.3K Likes >

    Text - Aaron Reynolds @aaronreynolds I chuckle a little. The raccoon doesn't like this noise. Or he doesn't like the sliding, or both. He tries to turn around and climb back to his end of the hammock but instead now l'm straddling the raccoon like l'm playing horsey with it. 7:51 am · 23 Jun 2020 · Tweetbot for iOS 67 Retweets and comments 4.6K Likes

    Text - Aaron Reynolds @aaronreynolds I shout something, maybe "Christ"? I don't know. The raccoon also makes a kind of disgruntled old man noise that probably means the same thing. 7:54 am · 23 Jun 2020 · Tweetbot for iOS 83 Retweets and comments 6.1K Likes >

    Text - Aaron Reynolds @aaronreynolds I do a profoundly inelegant dismount, bringing one leg up way too high to get it over the raccoon and end up falling on the ground. The raccoon looks down at me from the hammock. He grunts. He settles in. 7:58 am · 23 Jun 2020 · Tweetbot for iOS 64 Retweets and comments 5.4K Likes

    Text - Aaron Reynolds @aaronreynolds The raccoon is outside in what I assume is now his hammock. I am inside on the couch with ice on my groin because I definitely pulled something. 7:59 am · 23 Jun 2020 · Tweetbot for iOS 134 Retweets and comments 8.5K Likes >
