Here are a few snapshots of the foster kittens that have been running around the place lately:

Psghetti. She was adopted the day I took this photo.

Meatball. She is Psghetti's sister, and still needs a good home.

Teddy. He and his brother Stitch have grown quite a bit since I last posted a photo of them.

And, as a bonus, part of a really beautiful sunset as seen from my office. To see the heavy rain in this lighting was spectacular.

I realize I've been away a little longer than usual, but I have a good excuse. I just spent the past week with my family at Beaches resort, on Turks and Caicos. You see, my father turned 80 this year, and we marked the occasion by schlepping the whole family down to the Caribbean. My peeps!…

The worst part of visiting my parents is driving home. Yes, I will miss Moms cooking/baking. Yes, I will miss having real food (weird how the totally not organic food we get from local farmers is still good). Yes, Focus on the Family and AFA make a long drive longer (today they passive-…
This is a repost of my reflections on my father who passed away 13 years today. It took me 12 years to write the following eulogy and remembrance. While quite personal, I posted it here last year because I felt that my experiences were quite universal, shared by the families of the ten or twenty…

Boy, it's nice to have kittens around. After many years of adopting adult cats, we've had three kittens in the last six years--first one long-haired tabby female from a pregnant queen that appeared in a co-worker's yard, then a pair of grey kittens being raised feral behind my dad's place. They are all fine mousers and ratters. In addition, the brothers dig up earthworms and bring home random toys from weather stripping to dessicated squirrel carcases.

Wonderful photos of your fosters. Fostering is one of the most rewarding feelings I've ever had. Especially when forever homes are found. Thanks for all you do for animals.

They are all simply adorable.
