You should have seen that monster...

2008-05-07

Good evening Boys and Girls.

Just mowed the lawn here for the first time of the year. Smells great out there and, as usual, I have a sinus headache as a result.

Mixed emotions here. Looking forward to seeing my kid at Second City, Saturday in Novi, Michigan, but missing Sweet Lady and crew out in Iowa.

Good roomie Dot - now actually, ex-good roomie Dot, as she's already moved into her new apartment with beau Terry - is having some medical concerns after an appointment today regarding a breathing problem she's been dealing with for some time. Tests at the hospital Monday. Hope it's not too serious.

Roadie, the five-year-old Calico that owns a good chunk of my heart, went AWOL last night for a few hours. Couldn't find her anywhere. Then, just before I went to bed, and as I was yapping with Sweet Lady on the phone, I found her in the basement purposefully staring at the area between the washer and dryer.

Glad to have found her, I said goodnight to Sweet Lady and went to sleep quickly.

This morning, when I went to make coffee, I noticed something on the floor, just under the back of the easy chair Roadie jumps up on a few times a day to receive her treats. At first I thought it was a hairball. Nope. A dead baby mouse, tiny as can be, obviously presented as a trophy just for me. Roadie has no front claws, and to my knowledge this was her first kill. I was so proud.

Of course, earlier today, Sweet Lady pointed out to me that it's unlikely there's just one baby mouse down there and that I ought to be concerned about the ones Roadie didn't - or, as I prefer to see it, hasn't yet - killed.

Considering the of this place, I'm surprised there aren't more mice around here than there have been. Other than when we first moved in, and we caught a few, this is the first of them. I know, however, that babies don't appear magically, so obviously there's at least a pair of them floating around.

I'm not worried.

I have a hunter cat.


Be good to everyone.

 

Just went to my kid's website and saw this. Someone did a weird youtube video to one of Ryan's strangest songs.

If you're interested, go to ryanparmenter.com (He's not in the video at all, but it is him singing.)
