    Those Rotten Monkeys Did It Again

    October 9, 2006 - By 

    It's been lovely, really lovely being head of household. Now it's the time of year when it gets cold and my fur puffs up to keep me warm when a door or window is cracked open. It was like this before when the monkeys brought me home from the catpersons' detention center. And how do they mark this anniversary? They go away and leave me again. I tried to stow away in my monkeylady's carry thing, but she found me. Drat. Today the lady who looked after my simple needs came in and fed me and petted me. And now…

    Foley:

    October 9, 2006 - By 

    Ex-page reported Foley to GOP lawmaker in ’00 | Chicago Tribune A spokeswoman for Rep. Jim Kolbe (R-Ariz.) confirmed Sunday that a former page showed the congressman Internet messages that had made the youth feel uncomfortable. Kolbe’s press secretary, Korenna Cline, said “corrective action” was taken. But Cline said she hadn’t yet determined whether that action went beyond Kolbe’s confrontation with Foley. The revelation pushes back by at least five years the date when a member of Congress has acknowledged learning of Foley’s questionable behavior.

    Orthotics

    October 5, 2006 - By 

    Welcome to Solo Laboratories, Inc. :: Yep, got new shoes (New Balance 854s) and the orthotics fit them a lot better than my old, brokendown shoes. Actually, they’re already pretty comfortable, though I’m still getting used to the rock-hard stability “rollbars” on the sides, which will prevent roll-overs like I had 2 years ago They performed well just now in when I had to walk down 11 flights for a fire drill, so let the walking begin.
