"Perilous to us all are the devices of an art deeper than we possess ourselves"

Gandalf

We'd better listen to him. He's a wizard. Wizards know more than us. Of course, I'm being hypocritical. I'm typing this on a computer, and earlier I was out driving around in my car. The devices of most things I use are beyond my understanding.

And now onto other things. Sophie has a new(ish) game which involves grabbing noses. You have to make a honking sound while she's clutching your nose. This is pure comedy. Of course, she's also amused by flailing wildly at faces. We try not to act amused by this one. We don't want to encourage violence. On the positive side, she knows how to kiss now. This is accomplished by opening her mouth really wide, and diving at your face.

And finally, the further adventures of Cat:

Cat must guard excavation project. He sits in parking lot and thinks about who or what would want to interrupt excavation. Excavation is being handled by Skunk. Cat feels somewhat redundant. Skunk is pretty good at guarding things on his own. Maybe Skunk requires assistance because while his head is in the hole he can't see potential trouble.
Neither animal knows that the hole is being dug in the lawn of the office frequented by a man with the unfortunate name of Butts. Butts, when he arrives at work, will probably wonder where the hole came from. Butts has probably never seen Skunk. Skunk, like all reasonable animals, sleeps during the day.

Cds listened to while pondering the cryptic words of wizards: Danielle Dax "Blast the Human Flower", The Fixtures "Devil's Playground" and "One Crisis Short of Chaos", Buffy Sainte-Marie "Quiet Places", Eleni Karaindrou "Eternity and a Day", Cybele "Songs of Soil" and Destruction "All Hell Breaks Loose"

Currently wondering if I'm related to: Popol Vuh "Tantric Songs/Hosianna Mantra"
