Thanks everyone for reading those crazy diaries about my parents in Europe!  So much wonderful feedback!

A black cat crossed my path yesterday.  It was a small thing.  I don't know what it was doing on campus, hunting lab mice?  

I'm unintentionally reading a book about cannibalistic sex.

I've been offered a lovely promotion - with no pay increase (yet).  madness.  I blame the cat.
