An e-mail from Dad

"Hi Mom,

Meow, I have bad news for you. I really like you and Dad but I want to live with Papa in his new house so I can hang out in his new studio. He has lots of groovy music and I love to watch him paint. You are too busy with work and Star Wars and I am a neglected cat. You can come visit as much as you like. I am packing my toys now and will need a ride to Papa's tonight.

Yours Meowly,
Mal"

My Dad LOVES Mal, and every time we talk he tells me that he wants to take him. He's offered me money even! Now he's started e-mailing me almost daily about it. My Mom seems to favor Jayne, though it think its out of her usual support for the neglected underdog.

Tough poopies Dad - he and Jayne are ours. Bwahahahaha!

They get more cute and affectionate each day. Its amazing how much life they can add to a household. Schmoopy!

All Closed

We came, we saw, we signed a lot, we closed. We now have a fixed 30 year mortgage at a lower rate. Whoot. The bank even gave us a flashlight!

We won't have a mortgage payment until 11/1 so that's nice. Next we call the roofer to let them know we can't do it till the spring, and call a plumber to get our yearly maintenance check and look at 2 problem areas: clogged 2nd floor sink and lound clanging den radiator.

Phear my rock star life! Or something. :)
