However, that is subject to change. If you remember, Emma was first named Flannery, but I kept calling her “Fannie,” …

A Friend is on the way
So, after a late night of computer bashing and a long morning of publishing frustration for Sherry, we headed out at 1:00 to the Seneca County Humane Society to find a friend for little Emma. People have been asking us what we were looking for in a new cat, and both Sherry and I were …
Let us break pizza together
So, 13 years ago at this time Sherry and I were eating supper in a McDonald’s on our way to Ashtabula, OH where we had reservations for our first night as a married couple. We would spend the next few days in Niagra Falls and Toronto, taking in Phantom of the Opera and a Blue …
It’s been a month
It’s been a month since His Orangeness left us. Sherry still wakes up missing his heft on her head in the morning, and I still miss his insistence on having his belly rubbed. Emma has slowly come around and is chasing things again although it’s clear that she is lonely. Our trip to Chicago was …

Happy Birthday To Me!
After various Thanksgiving festivities, the birthday cake came out, and I blessed it with a breath of hot air. While my parents and sister were unable to be in attendance, they received a “radio broadcast” over the phone of the opening of presents. Ted, Nancy, and Sherry then obliged me by somehow letting me win …
