Mourning Show

I know it's been a century since I've posted -- please forgive me. It's not that I don't care.

Lisa, I'm truly sorry for your recent losses. I know you love your kitties, and even if I don't consider myself a fan, I can certainly understand the affection we can share with our pets. I would be devastated if Sadie were to have to leave us anytime soon.

It makes the news I have to share all the more difficult to pass on, though. There's no easy way to lead up to it, so I'll just come right out with it: Bob Reitman has retired. And thus has ended an era and has another chapter in my life (our lives, if I may be so bold) come to a close. I only heard about it yesterday from a friend at work, and it's taken me this long to bring myself to confirm it. Sigh.

Okay, two tangents to distract us from the disappointment of our losses:
  1. My kids are fricking adorable, if I do say so myself. Best. Picture. Ever.
  2. Jakob Nielsen is a dillweed. Ever heard of suspending your disbelief, you unimaginative prick?

Oh, that sucks about Reitman... first Marshall Field's turns into Macy's and now this. The farewell sounded really sad. It is truly the end of an era.

I appreciate your condolences regarding Oreo and Bear, and (as these things tend to occur in threes) my grandfather passed away on December 6. It's been a difficult past couple of months-- it's nice to hear words of support.

On a completely different note: I LOVE Burger and Fries!!! My family has been passing that video around for weeks. Laura and I have been known to break out into yowls from time to time (like in Ikea on Tuesday night) as an homage to that poor kitty,

Hi Guys-

Merry Christmas all. I can't seem to post anymore just add comments- it says Science World has moved to the new blogger. If you can add me on- or something. i am so technology impaired. Sorry if it's something obvious I missed.

Hope you had a good holiday and look forward to seeing Christmas photos or kids and cats! Sorry for your loss Lisa. :-(

On a lighter note- Oz LOVED you kitty-xmas card it's on the fridge and he likes to point and count all the reindogs and reincats. ho ho ho!
