What sort of tree do you plant as penance for turning your back on 24 million people?---Don Surber about Weak Reid.

Oh, yesterday Steve Isaacson, the director of DMTC, was telling some people he'd taken the chairs home for Passover and hadn't brought them back. Mmmm, I thought, Steve is Jewish! Then his last name reached my consciousness. Oh, yeah. Isaacson. Who knew?

On the radio, the news guy was talking about pooh-poohing Sharyl Crow. Heh.

Another day at home. I finished scrubbing the bathroom walls. Still have to do the shower and the fixtures. Who knew that little room was a three-day job?

I finished THE CURSE OF CHALION. That because I turned off the computer and just sat there and read it while Rich was at Sharing God's Bounty.

Spooky would give anything to get out. He gets really annoyed when I let, or throw, Abby out. What he doesn't realize is that she gets this privilege as an unintended consequence of his behavior. He punishes her if she dares to approach HIS litter box. He's always been very possessive of this. He has to check out and mark it when I change it out. So she's taken to going on the bathroom floor, and/or in the tub, both of which are easy to clean up, and sometimes in the living room (like while we were gone.) So, I don't want her doing that, so I throw her out, and he gets darkly jealous. There isn't room for two litter boxes, and besides, he'd probably claim them both. She never goes near the street, so it's not too dangerous.

Beautiful!
