Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

The teacher I assisted last year just came by and brought my recommendation letter... which is maybe the nicest thing anyone's ever written about me. I stand out "for [my] willingness to not only bring [my] talents to the table but also [my] desire to constanly improve the teaching team, the learning class, and the dynamics between the two." He recommends me with his "highest accolades".

I told him he could just write a paragraph saying what I did! I think I may sniffle a little.

I just had a near miss. As I was coming up the walk, this beautiful little tortie came up and demanded I pet her. So I did. And she didn't want me to leave. She climbed into my lap. And I worry, especially about really friendly outdoor cats in the city. She seemed to be nursing, so I didn't dare bring her in. And then she wouldn't come in the stairwell. But she sat outside the door for a long while. Ahrg. I'm going to keep an eye out for her. A really nice cat.

Curse the sucker sign on my forehead and my soft heart.

But the person who comes across most poorly in all this is GWB -- I can just see C.J. Cregg beating him on the head with her handbag.

Now tagless for your comfort.

the water heater guy has a girlfriend. and she has a male calico - I didn't even know they exsisted.

They're very, very rare. I wonder if she had him neutered.

Um, the CAT, not the boyfriend.

Hey, I read "has" as "is." Was a little concerned for beth's plumber.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

all I know is that the cat is not allowed outside. The boyfriend is allowed to fix waterheaters.
