Despite my Doper Name, I had no idea. Now, I have to think of something special for my three meowzers. My youngest just lost his milk fangs. Today is also the 31st anniversary of the lights coming on at Wrigley Field. The game was rained out. The gods no like lights. Bad medicine. Politically incorrect humor. You wanna make something out of it? I hope so. This bus ride is boring and smelly. ---

Dang, I have 20 minutes left to think of something special for my cats! Wait…they can’t read the clock. Whew! What do you call a big pile of kittens? A meow-ntain. Okay, that was bad. My apologies to anyone who read it. ---

Yesterday was the anniversary of my thesis defense and several other things. 8/8 is sort of easy to remember. 😉 Barbecued a burger in celebration. You can call me **Dr. FtG**. No one else does. ---
