A year or so ago we bought an African safari at an auction. Then we decided that a week was too short a time to take considering the flight time to get to southern Africa, so we enlisted the help of “Mama Africa” at Mills Tourism Consulting and added a couple more safaris to the list.

I like cats, really I do. They’re quiet, warm and soft, and they generally take care of themselves. Then they get old and weird, and gross things happen.

Grady is moving to Manhattan soon so Squirrel of Shame played one last gig at Kells with Grady as drummer. Attendance was pretty good considering it was the day before new year's eve, and the drinks were flowing as always.

Cole woke us up bright and early (read: it was still dark) on Christmas morning so he could see if Santa came. I think there was some doubt he'd make the good list. He must have made it, because there were plenty of treats under the tree for him.
