I came home for lunch and Deb was over. She was sitting in a chair, and my cat Puck was on her lap. After chatting for a bit, Puck was kneading her lap, and Deb also said, “I guess that I brought my cell phone with me.” The beeps that we were hearing were . . . → Read More: Dialing for Noms

I was out walking the dogs tonight, and just as I was about to cross over the Bayfront Highway on West 8th Street, and all of the lights went out, even the traffic lights.

I screwed up big time late last night. My dog Heracles had some matted fur behind his ears, and I was working to trim it away, and he yelped. It turns out that I cut his ear pretty badly. He’s going to be okay, and I took him to the emergency pet center this . . . → Read More: Feeling pretty much like the worst daddy in the world

It may be a silly tradition, but it’s mine, darn it! Every year, I tape the holiday cards that I get to the fireplace and then take a photo.

I have a crappy sense of smell, and I was working on bustling them out of there as quickly as possible. When I got home, . . . → Read More: Heracles encounter with a skunk

I got an email from Mom, who has been quite busy. She mentioned that she, my brother, Steve and his girlfriend, Karen went to get Steve and Karen’s cats fixed. They had been under the impression that Gizmo (Steve’s cat) and Gus (Karen’s cat) were brothers/litter mates.
Apparently, it turns out that Gizmo was . . . → Read More: My brother’s transgendered cat (sort of)

My brother Steve, who lives downstairs from his girlfriend, Karen, had a neighbor and myself over today for some leftovers and hanging out. Their neighbor Jeff was there as well.
My brother showed me his cat, Gizmo, who is the litter mate to Gus, who belongs to his girlfriend, Karen. They are the . . . → Read More: Visiting my brother and his girlfriend
