He was ironing his socks when the phone call came. Not that he often ironed his socks; he was not nearly so anal as that. This was a special occasion. This was his wedding day, the day

My grandmother was a wise and remarkable woman. She taught me many things, but the most valuable gift she gave me was this picture of her playing with her friends. Many years after she passed away, I can

I was lucky enough to pet sit for a litter of Bengal kittens. If you've never met a Bengal, they are amazing creatures with some wild Asian Leopard Cat in their heritage. Most Bengals that are kept as
