Yeah, it sucks; Jessica was coming to get him in a couple weeks (she's got a new place & a roommate- but I don't know about a job *sigh*) & we found him laid out in his cage Friday afternoon. He apparently died in his sleep, quick & painless; his last 9 months were filled sun, grass, & free runs, so I feel we did the best for him, even though we can't particularly mourn his passing.

Thank you for all the get-well wishes; I am feeling much better, but it will be a bit longer until I'm back to speed. I ended up missing 4 days of work, which naturally means 2 weeks of catch-up  Fortunately, Chris has scored some side work over the next couple of weekends, which has more then made up for the pay shortfall of the short hours this month. Along with the speedy receipt of our tax return (7 days from filing- a record for us), our trip to DC next month is looking pretty sweet.

The recliner is calling my name; I spent Sunday out at Ravenswood, so I'm pretty well toast for tonight. Speaking of which- look for the next entry in the "Ravenswood Story" later this week, & have a Sweet Valentine's Day.

A cannibal was walking through the jungle and came upon a restaurant opened by a fellow cannibal. Feeling somewhat hungry, he sat down and looked over the menu: Broiled Missionary $10 - Fried Explorer $15 - Baked Politician $100. The Cannibal called the waiter over and asked, "Why such a price difference for the politician?" The waiter replied, "Have you ever tried to clean one?"
