KfH has done it this time. The Professor, still on his Indian cooking adventure, decided that he wanted to grow some of his own herbs. He started off with cilantro and chives, and put them in clay pots on the bedroom window sill. There’s a long drape over the window, so that the cats can’t…
A tedious day is finally drawing to an end. With luck, I’ll be done work in an hour and a half or so. It’s been a long day, filled with nothing that has made a difference in the world. I completed what I anticipated to be a full day project before lunch. The rest of…
I am coming to the frightening conclusion that there is no place in the apartment that Kitten from Hell cannot wreak havok in. It has been my practice to put KfH in the master bathroom at her (and the other cats’) feeding time, when she’s been particularly bad, and when poor Clueless Wonder needs a…
Just to prove I wasn’t lying:
Kitten from Hell might be growing bigger, but she isn’t gaining much in the way of grace or stealth (or intelligence, I fear). We ordered Chinese last night. My excuse was that I’m still feeling too wiped to cook when I get home. Our order came in a big brown grocery-style bag with twine handles….

Hearts of Steel The above will open in a separate window for you. It is a link to a site that provides information about a fund raising project to raise money for a memorial to the people on Flight 93 that crashed in Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001. If you are stuck for ideas for…
I’ve come down with a cold. I went to bed with just a wee bit of a scratchy throat, but woke up around two o’clock with the sweats and the swallows. I’m just hoping I’ve caught it early enough to be over it by the twenty-second. I flew when I had a cold early this…
Clueless Wonder, Saturday 6:30 Saturday morning, as I set off for work. At least one of us was content. It was a long Saturday at work. For some reason, there was no net connection all day, so I was forced to manufacture my own amusements between tasks. I took advantage of the temporarily dry morning…
The first one of you who laughs is dead meat. I colored my hair again last night. I’ve been trying to tweak it towards some red highlights, like it used to have in my younger days. This time I chose a color that (on the box) was pretty close to what I wanted. It was…
