When I got home last night I found that my cat, Tanuki, had taken a turn for the worst . I got a ride to the emergency vet but she died before we got there. (Emergency vet is in Aurora.).
She had just turned 20 last week. I miss her dreadfully.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

New England-istas: I am in CT visiting my parents this week. I was toying with the idea of traveling north one evening to meet up with those of you who are free for dinner. I can't go all the way to Boston, but I could do Worcester...? Or something within an hour or so? Let me know in F2F.

Okay, Raleigh-area peeps, looks like I am flying the kiddo in Tuesday 8/14.
Anyone able to pick me up from the airport at a certain time, put me up, wanna hang and let me crash on their couch, maybe give me a ride to the port the next day?
Let me know ASAP what times would be good for arrival/departure and whose interested, if anyone, so I can boook ASAP. I'd LOVE to see more Buffistas and I've never been to NC!
Dan said I could stay 2 nights if I wanted, so that's an option. I am very neat and tidy, and allergic to no animals (that I know of.)
Profile addy good, and cell number there too.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I have some new photos of Ryan. [link] So what's our little boy been up to?
His cousin had a birthday party: [link] She's about three months younger than Ryan. It was held at the quality establishment, Monkey Mania: [link]
Said cousin's grandparents (Biyi's uncle and his wife) have been in town, and we went out to lunch with them today: [link] Led to a photo op outside: [link] Personal opinion: Ryan was exceptionally photogenic today. Some highlights:
Smiles all round: [link]

Yay! After six weeks of recuperation, my mom is well enough that I won't need to be staying overnights to help her transfer Dad in and out of his wheelchair. She's basically back to 100%, though still being careful.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I have a new piece up at Hilobrow as part of their Kirk Your Enthusiasm series.
Read here as I explore "The Enterprise Incident" and address the important issue of why it's so important for James T. Kirk to be a prankish dick at times. Also, sexy Romulan Commanders and Spock's sexy finger dance.
Please to Like on Facebook if you're inclined, or even better toss in a comment, as these things (somehow) magically turn into revenue stream for my fine online publisher.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Sigh. Could we have some "Switch come home" ~~ ma, please? He escaped at some point yesterday without us realizing it until Joe saw him outside this morning. But, idiot cat that he is, he ran away when Joe tried to grab him. I did just see some of his fur on the two-doors-down neighbor's fence, so hopefully he isn't going far.
Anyway, I want my baby giant kitty home.

HE'S BACK!
When Joe got home, he let the dogs out in the backyard and thought, "Hey - I'll follow the dogs!" and sure enough, they led him right to Switch! So he is home and cowering in the basement once again. Dumb giant baby kitty!
Thanks for all the ~ma!!
