Way, way back in my last post, Celebrating The End Of The Millennium, I left you hanging in a roadside stop outside of Kenora, Ontario.

1999 was a big year for Heather and I. Heather turned 30, and we celebrated by hiking into the Grand Canyon. (I’ll explore that trip in a future post.)

We have two cats that allow us to live with them. We feed them, clean their litter boxes, and generally cater to their every whim. They set the rules, and we abide by them. We think we have them trained, but that’s only because they have manipulated us into thinking we’re in charge. Thanks to… Read More »Don’t Cats Make Great Pets?
