What is this alien technology?


As one of the first steps in getting the "baby room" in order we have to relocate the current tenants, our cats Mr Nay and Papi. Their toiletries and dining accoutrements are located in said premises therefore we need to turf them out on their feline butts. This leads to the question where can be move the cat boxes and food bowls? After much cogitating we decided to banish them to the basement.

Well despite our best efforts the cats couldn't master the intricacies of the doorknob so we moved to plan two, a cat door. This involves cutting a big hole in an otherwise good door, what could go wrong?

Well when you have a big hole in the door there's no going back! So away we go!

Despite all of our misgivings about destroying da door, it worked out okay. Now if we can only get the cats to understand how to use it. Mr Nay sits behind it staring blankly saying to himself, what is this alien technology?

We recently saw a Natalie MacMaster concert at the Tilles center, she put on a great show, she's a Cape Breton fiddler from Nova Scotia. Natalie is a great performer bringing more than a taste of her beloved home town to her performances, she plays a mean fiddle and is accompanied by a fine group of musicians including a fifteen year old cellist, a great piano player who wowed us with his stepdancing, and a man of multitalents playing bagpipes, traditional pipes, and drums. We had a great time and i'd advise anyone to go see her show if it heads out your way!


The other night we ate out at the Red Cat restaurant in New York City. We met my brother Brunt, his wife Sue, and her brother Frankie and his wife Mary for a night out. It was a great place, with lots of ambiance and tasty foods for our bellies! The place had an understated neighborhood feel and a lively (noisy) clientele. It was great having a night out with great company.
