I have an answer to the issue I discussed in my previous post (I was worried about how my cat, Shadow, would react to a smoke-alarm inspector when I was away). The answer: friends. Isaac ( ) has been kind enough to offer to be there during the inspection. Isaac is a cat person, has dealt with Shadow…
I’ve previously posted about the hostile attitude that one of my cats, Shadow, has towards strangers. This has me worried again.
I just spent three hours reorganizing my closets in order to make room to store my new yurt.I could have stayed at Vann's birthday party and watched him paint beautiful women all night. As of noon the day after, he was still painting! Meanwhile, I was hefting trunks full of old memories around.We all have to…

There are many sites on the web with reviews of gadgets of all sorts. I don’t propose to compete with them, since I’m certainly not a dedicated "gadgeteer." But I figure that an occasional post on some device that I find interesting or useful can do no harm.
One week ago, I didn’t know that devices like the Sodastream home soda maker existed. I read about it in an article in the NY Times, on how to save money and reduce waste. I did some "homework" (meaning web searches) and decided to purchase one.
In my last two posts, I talked about significant events in my life, and about cleaning out my closets. There's something I found while cleaning out my closets of old clothing. I should get rid of it. I know that will never fit into it again for the rest of my life. But I find it hard to…
