Q- Favorite Quote?

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

John Donne

X- X-Rays you've had?

In 2003, I had a horse riding accident where the horse tripped, fell and landed on my leg while I landed on my elbow/arm. It was a lot of fun. Still got the scars.

I also had x-rays to determine if I had scoliosis when the required check up at my primatry school determined that I had a slight curvature to the spine. But it was so slight that nothing really came of it. All that effort for nothing.

Z- Zodiac?

Capricorn.

fetch isn't just for dogs

I'm sitting here watching a rerun of CSI and playing a casual game of fetch with Loki. I toss a cat chew toy down the hall and he runs like crazy for it. Eventually he returns to me with it in his mouth, drops it, and waits patiently for me to throw it again.

Yep, cats will play fetch!

congratulations!

Our friends, parents to Mac, welcomed James Austin into the world this morning ! We wish the whole family many congratulations and best wishes... We're thinking of you all!
