Cat Sitting: Day Four
Today I thought I would show some photos of the cats for a change. (Not much else going on there.) Two more nights, one more day.

The Ballad Of John And Jackie
Went over to Mary’s house for a delayed, catered post-wedding party for her mom and new husband after they recently returned from a honeymoon in eastern Europe. Average age of guests: 70ish. Food was great. Sylvia was in charge of the desserts and her perfectionism showed.

Two More Doctor Visits For Mami
My mom had two more doctor appointments today, both of which went very well with very good test results from her earlier CAT scan. Also stopped by her audiologist and I got some shots of old timey instruments in a display case.

Cat Sitting: Day Two
Not much to report other than a lot of cats eating and staring at birds out the window and my taking pictures of it all. Six of the eight cats were good sports about my intrusiveness. I’m pretty sure that they now accept me as one of them.

Saving Mount Everest
I never knew. Since 1953 when the first expedition scaled Mt. Everest there has been a steadily accumulating mini mountain of rubbish left behind by climbers and tourists. Saving Mount Everest is a project to remove the EIGHT TONS of trash the visitors didn’t take back with them and to teach the locals about solid waste management. Add this to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch that is about the size of Texas and you have proof that there are human pigs everywhere thinking that the earth is their own personal dumpster.

Dining In The Modern Age
Blathered away with my niece on our cell phones as I watched her on a live webcam while she stood in line with her friends outside a restaurant here in San Diego. Unorthodox video chat.

iPod Magic
Found this really cool video created by an open-source, tech-geek magician using only iPod touches. Really well done.

Cat-Sitting: Day One
Today begins my two half days and three full days of house and cat-sitting for the neighbors. Crossing the paths of eight black cats. What could go wrong?
Clean for now

A Pretty Fair Day
Went to the San Diego County Fair with Mary and her daughter Diana. Spent a bunch of time with different farm animals, enjoyed some pretty decent music, ate some great food, walked by a multitude of product barkers and checked out some really amazing exhibited photography.

Zoo Day With Mary
Walked around and had lunch at the San Diego Zoo with Mary and her daughter Diana. Spent the first hour by myself listening to my iPod and taking pictures of all the two-week old and one three-day old flamingo chicks.

A Hair Piece
Perform This Way is still one of my favorite songs to listen to these days.

Three States Of Calling
Received phone calls from three different states today: my brother in smokey New Mexico, Brenda in scorching Texas and Lisa enjoying Walt Disney World in Florida without me.
