Some Great Memories for the Fourth

At the urging of some I decided to put up some pictures of Orbit from our vast collection, some of which I may or may not have already posted.
We'd been considering a move recently, and much of my time has been spent searching living arrangements at larger, well-managed rental properties.  Unfortunately, many of these properties require a hefty "pet fee", something I don't 100% agree with.
I've been hoping to continue this blog-venture in one direction or another, though with appropriate changes because, let's face it- Peeballs and Pooplogs is 100% Orbit, but it'll likely be a while until there is another character to be the subject/blog owner.

Orbit can never be replaced, but I would like to be a slave again to a feline ruler some day, and this fee is a little prohibitive.  I can understand a deposit, which would be returned upon determining no damage has been done by said furry emperor, but come on!
Anyway, enough bitching.  Enjoy your July 4th holiday weekend, and enjoy some great photos of our beloved Orbit.

A Father's Day Post

I have five wonderful children (and one occasionally very child-like wife) for whom I am extremely thankful and love more than anything in the world.
That being said, this is the first Father's Day without Orbit in so many years, and he was like one of the kids.  Yes, with time we're getting over the loss of that crusty but loveable old fart, but we're also in the process of "cleaning house"- you know, going through things, deciding what we need and what we can honestly live without in our continued efforts to minimalize- and since Orbit passed away we've held onto a few of his things.  These are simple things I've mentioned in previous posts, but we've not been able to part with them quite yet.

It's a more difficult decision than we thought it ever would be.  They're just things, after all, but they were his things.  We'll see.

It's been a while since I've posted anything.  My mind's been consumed with work shit, day and night.  With a very few occasional exceptions all of my reading and writing time has been taken up by work, and my brain has been filled to exploding with work worries.  I have not been able to focus or concentrate on what I'm reading, and I certainly haven't been able to come up with anything creative worthy of sharing.

Anyway, a very Happy Father's Day to all you fathers out there.  Enjoy your summer!
 

Let's Lighten Things Up a Bit

 Recently, while poring over our vast collection of Orbit's photos the thought came to me how many of them appear as if he's melting.  He always had that drooping, funny way, when he fell asleep, of looking as though he was melting into a puddle of... cat.

See what I'm sayin'?
