My sister’s cat, Sam Jackson, is very interesting.  He’s crosseyed, gay and pees in the toilet.  Here he is exhibiting the latter of the three.  More on his other quirks in another post. 

So, apparently this is not uncommon.  Sammy taught himself.  Can cats be taught to do this?  Or is it just something some do?   

My sister/one of our commenters, Suzie Talley, and Bruce Seelinger just got engaged.  I was in NC this weekend and got Bruce’s take on becoming a member of our family. 

Ever spent the night in an airport?  Tonight’s my night!  This is my gate at the airport in Atlanta. 

 I got evil looks just now when I took this picture.  Apparently the flash woke some up.  What?  You’d think they were caught in flight delay hell today because of the storms.  I mean, they’re all acting like they missed several connections and have to sleep in the airport or something.  I appear to be the only cheery one here at the gate.  And the only one still awake.  

I have blanket envy.  The guy in the white t-shirt just pulled a blanket all cozy up around his chin.  I’m about to offer someone some serious money for an extra shirt.  

Swimmer Erika Stewart is representing Columbia in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.  Her father, a friend of mine, got married this weekend in NC, so I took the chance to ask Erika a couple of important Olympics-related issues.
