Sorry about the radio silence lately.
Been a bit difficult over here.
I, personally, am in favor of the cat.

A recent post from trek..Amazing girls!
I’d like to spend a day the same way you do, Mayhem.

A recent post from mrspao..52 Books in 52 Weeks : 7/52 The Marmalade Shore by Richard Comus Tammar
again, I see more stink-eye than sleepiness in this pic…maybe she’s taking lessons from Chaos.
For some crazy reason, most of my friends have pointed pictures of that wedding out to me… 😉
I love Neil Degrasse Tyson. He’s awesome.
And I have a hard time with the “save Barnes and Noble” thing. Yes, I want to save them. But I also want to save my Indie bookstore. How to choose? Or do I have to? Will splitting my book purchases out save them both? One can hope.
