We headed down a street I had never been on and found ourselves driving by a little strip mall. Then Kathy says "Turn in here a minute." Now my spidey senses are on alert, and sure enough, we wind up parking in front of a pet store. Kathy had been out in Golden a couple of days before and had found Hootie sitting in a cage looking so lonely.

ReplyDeleteI'd like to dispel rumors that this guy is me:
ReplyDelete1. I've never had more than 16 windows open.
2. Thanks to the baby face I inherited from my
mother, I can't grow any beard, including a goatee.
3.I am a Mac guy. System 10 only crashes one
program at a time.
4. I live in Chicago, not Pennsylvania.
5. I use Vonage, not Skype
6. While I signed up for Myspace so that I could check the blogs of a couple of friends, they rarely post and I never check it.
7. Most importantly, you'd never catch me playing poker online-- we play good old-fashioned real draw poker in the Yen household.
Thank God, huh Kristy?

McDONALD'S ANNOUNCES IT'S ALL-BEEF BUN

STRAW SPACE SHUTTLE BURSTS INTO FLAMES ON LAUNCHPAD, ASTOUNDING ENGINEERS.
