Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

If it is pneumonia, may you figure it out quickly, Kat. One of the things I have observed about that nasty beast is that it can hide so effectively.

Ann, that's a ferret.

And now it's Arthur's turn. He's lost weight and increased thirst lately, so we took him in for bloodwork. Turns out his kidneys are bad. We're scheduling an ultrasound to see if it's just a kidney stone or something else fixable.

Dammit, the little goofball isn't even 3 yet!

(If you're on FB, Arthur is the flamepoint in my avatar.)

Speaking of cats - in NYC this summer there is an installation/intteractive piece featuring adoptable cats.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So, I am doing this seminar in DC for a week in July, about information literacy in Classics, at the Center for Hellenic Studies. Deanna Marcum (major library figure) has already agreed to come and talk, and I just got off my Google Hangout with the CHS people (I wore pants! well, a skirt) and they are going to also invite Tim O'Reilly, who it turns out was an undergraduate classics student and is involved in some digital classics stuff.

Hellooooo imposter syndrome.

So jealous, flea! That sounds fascinating!

Hellooooo imposter syndrome.

You're not an imposter! You know how to wear pants. Plus, you're a classically educated librarian.
