Stosh and Roxie are both black and white, in a vary fashionable tuxedo
pattern. Stosh wears his jacket buttoned, where Roxie's is open. Brandy also
wears a tux but it's more retro: a sort of Elton John 1972 look. Her tux is
tortie, and she has a neat little white shirt front and cuffs. As my
husband's first name is Buxees (Louis is his middle name and only his friends
and family use it) there are some folks who call our place "Liz and Buxees'
House of Tuxies."

Stosh is named partly in honor of my Polish heritage, partly because he liked
the name as much as we did. When we got him, he was called Slippers and
didn't respond. So we called out names from a baby name book until we found
one mutually agreeable. Brandy came with her name and responds to it. Roxie
was Booboo and I refused to call her after a sore. We first called her
Rokusaburo, after an Iron Chef until we learned that part of the name means
third son, so we feminized it to Ryoko Sakura-Roxie for short.

So your mama was Arthur? At least she was called for royalty. My father
called me Charlie Brown. either his English really did bite as badly as I
thought it did, or he really needed glasses. I now need a therapist.

Blessed be,
