Rotisserie Charlie

My cat has an addiction to warm blowing air.

For the past 3 months - my cat has spent most of his free time (and by free time I mean all of his time that's not spent eating or peeing) laying in front of a heat vent in our bedroom. He rotates every 2 minutes...see my vent photos below.

Charlie During The Holidays!

Here are some Charlie pictures from Holiday 2006.



Charlie is all nestled and snug in his bed with vision of becoming the first cat-reindeer to help Santa.

An Upton Sinclair Quote for starters!

I just watched the movie that is now commonly known as "the al gore movie" this past weekend. While I thought that "An Inconvenient Truth" was a very interesting flick (I learned a lot and even bought the book) - what stands out most in my mind was a quote Al used from Upton Sinclair (who btw was born in Baltimore, MD).

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."

Hmmm...how often is that true!


Something else to ponder: why so many people have trouble spelling the word "inconvenient" - the lady at barnes & nobles asked me to spell it for her (which for some reason I found amusing that a person working in a bookstore couldn't spell) and when I did spell it (correctly) she didn't believe me. So I just asked her to look up "Al Gore" instead....
