Jane’s bro has just moved, so we landed in the middle of a new house set-up. The cats were confused…they know Jane’s bros, but the house was new, and there were (dreaded) boxes: they were really on best behavior. We contributed to the move-in. Jane...

One of Jane’s birthday requests was a visit to her bros in Seattle…so cats and all, we were off. And OSG was watching the fishes, but the last we heard, OSG has come down with the swine flu and so has Joan’s husband. The whole circle of our friends...

Mr. Lector, back in the institution, has now gotten a phone and called the news station. He assures everyone he meant no harm, he is no longer schizophrenic, and the sickle he was carrying was to protect him from mountain lions. A kid at school had a cough. Fears of...
