CrabAppleLane Sunday - April 29, 2007 Issue
Brady Quinn should have stayed home yesterday. Having all of the ESPN cameras focused on him as team after team passed him by had to be excruciating. However, he’ll be playing close to home and he’ll make a lot of money some day if he can play at the NFL level. I have my doubts about that so yesterday probably cost him a boatload of money.
I offer one from the CrabAppleLane back yard this afternoon.
This is Priscilla and the photo was taken just after I had taken her for a late morning walk. She loves to walk with us but we need to prime her these days by picking her up and carrying her to the back of the yard. She also likes to stop before we're finished to prolong it. She celebrated her 18th birthday two weeks ago. She's still as feisty, cantankerous, and charming as she ever was and has developed a loathing of the camera. This is her "throw that damn thing in the pond" stare. She skulks away whenever she sees me with the camera and she proceeded to do so just after I pressed the shutter.

Quote from said blog: "The idea of marking flood heights is powerful and important. Sometimes we’d rather forget, but we mustn’t allow ourselves to do that."
How do you know when her birthday is? I know cats can live long lives, but even so, I think eighteen must be considered quite elderly. She looks really good.
I don't suppose you had any of the foods that were spiked with poison did you?
We don't know her exact birth date so we approximated it to be April 15. We do know how long her previous owners had her and they adopted her as a kitten. She's 18, give or take a few days/weeks. We did the same for Casey (14 in August) and Crispin (11 in October).
Oh, and no, none of the food we use was tainted.
She's precious. :) She looks like one of the kitties that live on my porch.
