@pamelaribon Late to last night's comfort-me-with-cats party but here's Needles O'Shea being decidedly ungenteel.

#UmichBBall is in my blood. Grandpa was on the 1926-1927 team.

. @sternmanrule Bug saw I was on your website and demanded "My big fruit book." Proof:

Oh, my goodness, the most beautiful flowers from @joylian just arrived a day early for my birthday!

I snowflaked a cobweb out of the silver curtain! Pretty proud of myself right now. Think I'll have more candy.

OH MY GOD, MOM! Another celebratory surprise. TEAM SUFFERING SUCCOTASH!

Brilliant celebratory cake from my favorite, @WuolletBakery. Thanks, mom -- succotash never looked so tasty!

Front page of the Washington Post!

I mean, it's true I bit Bug's cheek once. But I made him. I'm allowed to nosh.

@Artisanal In all its stinky glory. Our cats are going nuts with the box now.

I'll be wearing Minnesota over my heart now.
