back in memphis...

some things are always the same -- dinner late at night at perkins with my family and a waitress who has known us all by name for the past 10 years... tons of rain makes the front yard a swamp, etc. etc. etc.

but some things are subtly different
* there's a new dog (who i've met) and a new llama (who i haven't met yet)
* alice, our oldest cat went from being quite a tubby cat (we used to call her the watermelon kitty because she looked like she had swallowed one whole), and since january she's lost all her weight to be literally skin and bones... you can see her ribs even though she eats well... i didn't recognize her and she's looked identical for 10 years... she goes to the vet on friday

who knows what else has changed... the cat thing worried me a bit...

mostly just an excuse to post and say "i'm here"...

tomorrow: day one of entertaining myself while everyone else is out at work... TONS of fun. :P

first, to start watching scrubs season 3 on dvd (it came out yesterday and i bought my copy at a mall in pittsburgh last night :) ) until i crash.

night y'all! be parties.
