I now have a cat, thanks to my friend The Photographer and his girlfriend. Back in September a stray showed up at their house. A few days later she returned with 4 little kittens. The Photographer convinced me to adopt one, and I've been thrilled to enjoy Bella's company ever since. She was born in early September, around the 5th we think, of 2006. It's hard to take yourself too seriously when you spend your time playing tag with a rambunctious little ball of fur.
Another wonderful source of sanity and a sense of balance (other than yoga) is spending time with other people's kids. Got to spend time with The Computer Genius today, who had called The Brit, who brought her little darling. Hard to mope when you're hanging around a munchkin who sings the happy Bagel song to the tune of the ABC's, has butterflies on her shoes, and carts miniature talking version of the The Prez around in her baby buggy.
Final thought for today: if you love books, check out Book Mooch. It's a fantastic place to share books with people around the world and get new ones. Like "Amazon without the credit cards" says The Theologian.
