STAIRS! Way cool!
So the stairs are finally in! Yay! It took us about 3 times longer than we expected, but it also is about 3 times cooler too!
So Angela ordered this cat...
...and then when it got here, it wasn't the right one. So, unfortunately, the kitty is being returned.

Hey it's a Moman!
Sam loves snowmen. But he calls them moman! So yesterday during our blizzard (1/2" of sleety-snow, during which they declared a state of emergency in Maryland), I decided to make him one!
He was tickled scrunchy!
He was tickled scrunchy!
And shortly after this...
Shortly after this nice little picture, Sam probably starting smacking someone!
Enjoying some football
So here's Sam just chillin' and watching some football while dipping his chips in cheese dip!
And here he is noticing that Rex Grossman's stat line is pathetic. I mean, c'mon 3 of 11 for 37 yards, and one of the completions was for 30? Jeez, I could probably do better than that! Or maybe not. I couldn't see over the center's butt! But whatever, he's supposed to be a "professional football player!"

The Diamond Story...by Dan Gallagher
So Dad sent me pictures of his cat trying madly to give himself a nosebleed and I, being the good son that I am, immediately posted them. Then Dad said Diamond needed a history for those of you who had never met him. Here it is:
"Diamond came to Rita and Dan's house as a four-month old kitten. He was extremely timid, since at some point in his earlier youth a land crab bit off his tail (see picture). Once he got used to the other cat in the house (Princess Raz), he lost his shyness. But he didn't grow back a tail.
Diamond is not bright. Sometimes we hear him crying in the middle of a room. He is lost. He can't figure out what room he is in. We have to say, "Diamond -- you are in the living room!" Sometimes we say that even when he is in the bedroom. We are mean.
And Diamond is an indoor cat. We take him out on a leash sometimes, but it is a strain for all of us. He goes "bump, bump, bump" down the steps. Then when he gets to the bottom, he eats grass.
Diamond loves geckos. He catches them in the house and makes them lose their tail. He bites them. Doesn't eat them. When a gecko runs up a wall or across the ceiling, Diamond meeps and mewls, chases them and leaps. We think he likes their tails to possibly replace the one that he doesn't have. He has often told us he wanted to go to K-Mart because it is a retail store.
So it is no surprise that when a gecko is on the wrong side of a glass door (out), a very stupid cat (in) will knock himself out trying to get the critter. The photos show the sad series of events...Diamond jumped about 50 times before he gave up...exhausted and, of course, geckoless."
And now click here to go back and see Diamond smashing himself into a glass door!

Inept Suicidal Geckos (great name for a rock band, btw!)
Pictures from Dad of his cat and an ill-fated encounter with a terribly inept, suicidal gecko.
That must be the strangest business name I've ever seen on a door before.
Lining up for the purrfect shot...
Ready, get set,
Oh shit! That's glass there!
