I get home last night, put on my slippers, changed into my favorite smoking jacket, turned on my favorite classical radio station, lit my pipe and started to forget about my day. I look up and there are my cats, oh man, I forgot to feed them (cats like food). I walked over, opened the cabinet and there was no wet food! In the ten (i think) years I've had them, I don't think this has ever happened. I fixed up their dry food bowl, gave them some fresh water and hoped they'd be fine with that. They were not. I sat back down to play it off but they were not going to be ignored. I didn't want to go out again (!), but didn't have a choice, I searched my memory for the closest store and while yes, there is a store less than a block away...I'm not really comfortable with that block. I always feel like I have a huge sign hanging over my head that reads, "Please mug me!" Ugh but the cats need to eat! I suck it up, run over, run back without incident, WHEW! Cats.

If you're keeping score at home, OK, that first story had no real ending! They can't all be winners! Ha ha.

Health update; My sore throat is very, very close to being gone. But now, I have a canker sore (too much info?)! I fell asleep on my sofa the last two nights. Why am I being punished?! Ha ha.

I have to give a shoutout to some loyal bobborden.com readers. First to Karoline for sending me some lovely cat toys -- after tonight, they needed them, nice! Second, Shawn was nice enough to hook me up with some Lindsey Buckingham songs. And last, Jim's sending me a GNR CD. The power of the internet? More like the power of good people, can I get a witness?! Thank you!

That's all I know, it's FRIDAY! Let's do this!

Best,

Bob
