Home again
As you know, we're once again stateside. Yes, it's good to be back. Around Sarah's mother's house, not much has changed. While we were in India, Sarah's mom lost one of her cats. Luther, we'll miss you. Apart from that, and a new network television line-up (a Jeff Goldblum detective show?? Why does this guy keep getting work??) it feels like we never left.
Anyway, it's wonderfully suburban and quiet in Santa Rosa, California. We're staying here until we figure out what to do, and I'm not in a big hurry to leave. There are lawnmowers, cul-de-sacs, neighbors who stop by and chat about new hardwood flooring. It's tranquil compared to the life we've led recently. And it's nice to get some more people into the mix. Sarah and I are grateful to have her mom around, just to be able to talk to another person besides ourselves.
Well actually, there are three new people in the dynamic. Sarah's mom, a girl named Bunny and a guy who goes only by Cosmo. They sleep a lot and shed on the carpet (Bunny and Cosmo do. Not Sarah's mom).
Cosmo and I are still kind of warming up to each other. You'd think that being the only guys in the house, we'd bond a little more. I'm still waiting for him to kind of come around to me. Yesterday, I'm walking down the hallway where he's sitting (right in the middle, I might add, as if he's looking for a problem) and as I walk up towards him on a completely un-cat related errand, he suddenly freaks out and runs into the bedroom where I'm also headed. Once there, Cosmo is beside himself. He's cornered. He's zigzagging, trying to find an escape. Hey Cosmo, relax! I'm only looking for a pair of socks in here. Sheesh.
So Cosmo, if you're reading this, let's hang out tonight. Just the guys. It'll be fun. We'll watch the game and you can fall asleep within seconds.

That sucks, I've always been good with cats. Now, dogs are another story. Sorry to hear about Luther, it's always hard to lose a family pet. Hope you and Cosmo start to get along.

Hey, I like Jeff Goldblum. :)
Glad you're enjoying being home!
Did you know that the plural of cul-de-sac is actually...
culs-de-sac
Kinda weird huh.
Hi!
I've been lurking around here for months and just wanted to say,
Welcome home!
The way Brendan narrated that was really funny. LOL. Anyway you guys are not gonna stop blogging now that you're home right?
we plan to keep blooging.. but we're going to take a more domestic turn. I'll probably just write about cats 90% of the time.
I can dig that! I have 5 cats in my house, and they are endless entertainment. Try putting some catnip out in the garden, but put it in a container becuase it will take over.
I keep expecting to come home and see the cats with dreads.
