Fiat Lux

Bear really loves flopping down on my laptop when I work. Endearing, but not when I am trying to get something done!

He might be expressing his opinion about how much work I’ve been doing lately…. fortunately I ended the week with a fairly empty in-box (for a change).

One of Tommy’s regular napping spots is on top of the couch cushions. Yesterday, Bear decided to join him up there.

Bear, playing Guardian of the Cable Box. I really need to put that stuff away (or throw it out) one of these days.

Haven’t done one of these in a while!

Our big boy Gimi just loves to roll over and show his belly! He’s actually lost a little weight since we changed their diet last year, but even so he tips the scales at some 15 pounds.

This was the view from my terrace tonight. A fantastic, colorful sunset to close out the year:

A friend is coming over a little later, and we’ll have snacks, some champagne, maybe play some Wii or watch a movie. A nice quiet New Year’s with all the important things: good friends, good food, family, and some fun.

2007 was an up-and-down, “two steps forward one step back” kind of year in some ways, but on the other hand, I have my health, my family, my friends, and the great good fortune to live in a place and time where my destiny is changeable and under my own control. When I start thinking too much about the bad things, I need to remember that.

Thanks to all my readers for stopping by and sharing a part of your life, however small, with me. I hope you’ll be back in 2008. I’m looking forward to what happens next.

Peace on Earth, good will towards napping kitties!

We’ve enjoyed a quiet few days at home and will be heading out to see some friends a little later on. I hope everyone else is having a good day too.

I don’t have any new cat photos to share today, so instead I pulled something random out from the archives. This is a shot of some ancient Anasazi rock art carved into the stones near St George, UT.

Tommy, open-mouthed at having to pose yet again for the camera.

I finally got the photos from my trip home online. This one, taken at a small park near Riverhead, Long Island, didn’t turn out quite how I thought it would, but I like it anyway.
