I am more convinced than ever that animals have sensibilities that humans fail to appreciate. Those of you who have followed my Diary at all have been regaled by stories about my Kitten-From-Hell, the destructive force that I have been unable to stop or even slow down. Mirrors, wall hangings, floor fans, exposed ankles and…
Didn’t she say she worked in the World Trade Center? I can’t take it in. I watched the second tower get hit on television. I watched the first tower collapse, and then the second, knowing that I was watching the deaths of thousands. I’m crying for strangers, and for two friends who may well have…
I spent the weekend catching up on sleep. I didn’t get out of bed on Saturday nor on Sunday before 11:00 in the morning. You have to know me to understand how truly remarkable that was. We picked up a couple of DVD’s Friday night for the weekend. I’d never seen any of the Batman…
Curse you anyhow, Candle. I need to develop more self-control about these things. IQ Test and lots of other stuff was too much for me to resist. My results? Results of Your IQ Test IQ Your score = 133 points The following sub-scores are reported on a scale from 0 to 100. Pattern Recognition (Series)…
Well, The Architect leaves today to return to San Fran. Ironically, I think I enjoyed his visit more than The Professor did. It rather complicated things that the visit coincided with The Prof’s first days working full-time at the college. The Prof was a little displeased last night because the Architect wanted us to meet…
OK, Candle’s was the fourth or fifth Diary I saw this in. I finally broke down and took The Hartman Personality Profile (a.k.a. The Color Code). I held out for longer than is usually my wont, though. It would appear I’m a blue, with a weak secondary color of white. The Blue Personality Blues Are…
Last night The Professor, The Architect and I went out to dinner at a local Indian restaurant. The Architect happened to mention a show he heard on PBR regarding advances in Alzheimer’s research that showed promise. The research involved the use of vaccinations to help people develop antibodies against the amyloid plaques that Alzheimer’s victims…
Shay – there really isn’t all that much to be done at this point. I do need to deal with making dinner this evening, but that’s one of those things that I’ll think about later. As for keeping the cats separated – no possible with the spare bedroom in use. I have to babysit The…
Labor Day weekend went well, if too quickly. I had a great time with Man-who-uses-forty-foot-ladders-to-hang-birdhouses and The Texan Elf. Pity both don’t live more closely. I made lobsters and corn on the cob for dinner, and both turned out just fine (insert huge sigh of relief here). We went out and played miniature golf afterwards,…
If training has been consistent and gentle, a nine month puppy should be pretty thoroughly housebroken. Some dogs do take a little longer than others, though, so don’t despair yet. Give a gander at Learn2 Housebreak your puppy. I just glanced through it, and while much of it probably doesn’t apply to your nine-month old…
