Luna Lovegood
07/09/2007 05:32 PM
After fours years of talking about it and even
one trip to the shelter, big Al and I have finally
done it. We got ourselves a brand new kitty (from
Craig's List, of all things). Luna Lovegood is 7
weeks old, a teeny ball of fur, who likes to go 10
rounds with my toes and to sleep in Alex's slippers.
We are wandering around the apartment following her
every move like blathering idiots, doing our best to
keep from over-handling her but failing pretty
miserably. It's hard to think of what more life has
to offer than a slightly confused and deeply
ambitious little circle of fuzz and whiskers. Of
course she's named after the Harry Potter character -
our favorite - seeing as she arrived during this
Harry Potterist of all months. You can bet you'll be
getting updates!

Nina, Yory, Serena and Sylvie are in town.
Nina's the oft mentioned "big sis" and Serena and
Sylvie are the too infrequently mentioned nieces.
Tonight we gathered, with a gaggle of friends, out at
Two Lights State Park. Doug and Sheila brought little
Liam along, and I was wondering if there might be
perhaps a meeting of the minds amongst the
four-to-five-year-old contingent. Initial shyness was
replaced by rose hip fascination (Liam is an expert).
But the out and out bliss occurred during a stunning
segment of "under the frisbee" - in which two
childish adults toss a white disk back and forth to
one another, while two giggling and squealing
lovebirds tempt fate by dancing perilously close to
the line of fire. Youthful glee: a failsafe balm to
this old man's spleen.
Yeah, we had
some fun. But the big revelation of the weekend
was mine, and it is this: the "K" in "Special
K"? Kellogg's!
