Looks like a great christmas list to me

From Wired, of all places. The five greatest toys of all time.

Pip's wishlist

It has officially arrived.

Farewell, old friend

Rest in peace, Elliott James Cat, 19(93)-2011

With much sadness, Sky and I had Elliott put to sleep this morning. He has been in a gradual decline the last few months which picked up speed just recently. As of this morning he had shown no interest in eating or drinking for well over a week, he was so weak he couldn't stand or even pick up his head, and was clearly suffering.

Elliott had been with us almost as long as Sky and I have been officially cohabiting, coming home with us from the shelter in the fall of 2000, not long after Sky moved out here to join me. He was an definitely part of our family. "Meow" and "cat" were some of Peregrine's first sounds and he loved snuggling face-first into Elliott and patting him...let's say "vigorously". Despite the indignity of such behavior, Elliott was always well-behaved and very tolerant. He will be missed. All he ever wanted was lots of love, a warm lap, and a sweater to drool on, though the occasional high-speed lap around the house didn't hurt anything.

Farewell, old friend!

It has been a while

Some pics. Stories hopefully this weekend.
