I have a hard time admitting to reality sometimes. But eventually, it catches up with us all. So here is the story of what has happened over the last week. On Tuesday of last week, I took Mitsy and Pablo to the vets. They have been losing weight, which they desperately needed to do, but [...]

Reasons I don’t live in New England
This tree bloomed at the end of January. Since then, I have been spending Saturday afternoons in the backyard with Mitsy and Perl. Perl chases squirrels. I read the newspaper or a book. And Mitsy? Well, Mitsy paces and stops occasionally to sniff something. Truth is, I don’t know what she is doing. But Perl [...]

New hiding spot
In an effort to quell any need I have to move after being in the same spot for nearing four years, I have been redecorating. Out with the old, in with the new. Including a new pet bed. I’d call it a dog bed except Perl has yet to be allowed to use it. Mitsy [...]

Fire! Fire!
I’m sitting on the couch here at home trying to get some work done before I get into the office. Pablo jumped up beside me to squeeze into the five inches I left him between me and the arm of the couch. Suddenly I see smoke coming from my laptop! I immediately went into rescue [...]

Status quo
Seems that everything is back to normal. As normal as my life is. My new vacuum cleaner sucks—and that’s a good thing. My cats are sitting with me, watching the moth I accidentally let inside my now clean condo. Everyone seems healthy and happy and all is good with the world.

Home again
I managed to get into San Francisco. The flight was delayed by an hour because of bad weather in Boston, but I didn’t care because I’m already late getting home and I ran into my friend, Ken (thanks for getting that stupid Barbie song stuck in my head), who also happened to be on my [...]

Let me try this again
I’m on the commuter train back to South Station. Didn’t know where to buy tickets, so I don’t have one. Didn’t really sleep. Showered at 4:30 am since I wasn’t sleeping. Know I should eat, but not sure if I can. Not exactly starting the day off right.

The saga continues
There was no way I was going to make my San Jose flight from JFK, so I was moved to a flight tomorrow. I picked up my bag from baggage claim and looked for cheap hotels, but I’m an amazing cheapskate and I refuse to stay in less than a three star hotel after tenting, [...]

Pablo being held hostage
The specialist keeps coming up with more tests to do to Pablo. I think this might have become a hostage situation. His fever is gone, but he isn’t really eating on his own yet. They did say they might release him Wednesday, but they want more money now. In other hostage situation news, I’m in [...]

Pablo still at the specialist
But I’m getting on a plane. I had to decide to be worried here or with my family. The vet told me to go. Mitsy and I did go visit him today, and he does seem better. His temperature still isn’t normal, hanging out at 104, but he actually responded to my touch, he ate [...]
