I found a news story in the Big City Paper about what Dr. Liver must have been up to yesterday. Pennsylvania physicians rally for malpractice relief Posted on Tue, Apr. 29, 2003 By Karl Stark, Marian Uhlman and Linda Loyd Inquirer Staff Writers Nearly 2,000 doctors, nurses and their supporters took off work yesterday and…
I seldom remember dreams, but when I do, they’re doozies. The Socialist and I had just moved into a new apartment. The earliest part of my dream I remember is walking about the new place after we’d unpacked everything and all had been put away. The place had the feel of an old house that…
From: Calichef Date Posted: 29 Apr 2003 It seems that “Kitty Grass” would be ideal for old O’Beast. Moonflowers! I just love moonflowers! I have to ask, did you remember to scarify the seeds?

OK, I got a bee in my bonnet a couple of weeks ago. My car, a Ford Escort, isn’t that old, but isn’t that new anymore either. I’ve recently had to start shelling out some medium sized bucks to keep the car in repair. New tires, a new headlight casing … that sort of thing….
My little grey Nimrod is starting to hone her hunting skills on something other than the other cats. Monday she discovered spiders. Some poor dumb arachnid apparently found its way into our kitchen from the great outdoors, and Kitten, attracted by the motion of something small and black on the floor, had to investigate. Following…
Plans to reap what I sowed failed to come to fruition. Turns out the harvest had some weevils in it. Looks like you’ll all just have to wait in suspense a bit longer. As for me, I’m sitting on pins and needles.
