I like Clark as well. Hopefully he will be Secretary of Defense in an Obama administration.

He is seen as a Clinton surrogate, and will not be even going to the damn convention. That is a mistake in my mind.

Right now, the furry ones are doing well. Either they are playing, or trying to kill each other. Though Cobalt does not fit him. I may call him Houdini.

You - make sure you catch my comment about the Dinosaur show - I know you expressed interest.

My little furry one continues to show her age. I'm not sure I'm ready for that particular journey right now

Q, why didn't you tell us you were competing in the Olympics? You know we can keep a secret!

Houdini appears to be most appropriate for a kitty. They are past masters at finding miniscule places in which to hide and from which to escape.

Almost interesting tidbit - I was a member of the Air Force volleyball team when I was, well, a member of the Air Force.

A most talented Q.

[Q]

Posted: 8/23/08 at 3:05am

"A most talented Q."

Or just tall.

And agressive.

And angry, at least during the military years

I take it that bayonets were not used on court.

[Q]

Posted: 8/23/08 at 3:31am

Define 'bayonet' . . .



I just LOVE being home!!! I was just out in the courtyard, and got to interact with a beautiful Possum who came a callin'.

[gettinhep]

Posted: 8/23/08 at 3:45am

It gives new meaning to 'spike'.

Welcome home, Q. It's nice to have furry friends.

[Q]

Posted: 8/23/08 at 3:47am

"It's nice to have furry friends."

I agree. But when I came back inside reeking of the Possum, our little girl was somewhat, shall I say, 'put out'.

[gettinhep]

Posted: 8/23/08 at 3:51am

"... reeking of the Possum." Hmm. Bath time for Daddy.

I had an encounter with a 'possum once. In my initial shock I pushed the bin over and ran like the dickens. From a distance, I watched as it slowly but surely made its way out of the collapsed barrel and, once it realized it was in no danger, it too ran like the dickens.

[tazber]

Posted: 8/23/08 at 3:59am

how do the dickens run anyway?

[Q]

Posted: 8/23/08 at 4:04am

Oh, my. Visits by Taz AND Stagey!

I'm afraid I have a bad habit of physically interacting with wildlife. I know it's not the best thing, but I just can't help myself. This little fellow ended up sitting in my lap and really enjoying having his fur stroked. Oh, well.

And Hep, I live in a perpetual state of needing a bath - but that's only in reference to my soul

He actually let you hold him? Q, you're like a latter-day St. Francis of Assisi.

[Q]

Posted: 8/23/08 at 4:12am

Stagey - Francis was my confirmation name, and I actually have a statue of him in my garden. And if you've paid attention at all, you know that's a bit of a stretch, and says quite a lot.

Animals and I get along perfectly well, no matter where or how they live. Humans, on the other hand, we have to deal with on a case-by-case basis

[StageManager2]

Posted: 8/23/08 at 4:16am

I wasn't dissing you. But all the paintings I've seen of St. Francis have him surrounded by wild woodland animals.

i.e.

[Q]

Posted: 8/23/08 at 4:18am

Stagey - didn't take it as a diss at all. And that was absolutely one of Francis's M.O.s - which is why I chose him as a patron saint.

Back in the Catholic days.

Which were a LONG time ago

[StageManager2]

Posted: 8/23/08 at 4:20am

Oh, okay. I was just confused by the following:

"And if you've paid attention at all, you know that's a bit of a stretch, and says quite a lot."

I didn't know what to make of it.

[Q]

Posted: 8/23/08 at 4:22am

I'm pretty renown around these parts for my anti-religious stance - ESPECIALLY as it refers to Catholicism!

Mornin', Peeps!

The coffee's on.

[StageManager2]

Posted: 8/23/08 at 8:46am

Hey, shamey! I don't drink coffee. Can I have cocoa instead?


Q, thanks for the clarification.

[shameless]

Posted: 8/23/08 at 8:49am

Absolutely!

Cocoa for Stagey and tea for my Tink.

Who's the hot chick in your av? I know, wrong thread, but I'm curious. You usually have a hot Joaquin pic.

Incidentally, I've been listening a lot to my WALK THE LINE soundtrack lately. I like his renditions of Johnny Cash's songs. He uncannily sounds a little like him, but at the same time he has his own style.
