I enjoyed taking the snow pictures, except for the fact that it was very
cold and I was in my jammies. :) The birdhouses are built by Tom's dad,
we have many of them.

In theory, Tom is supposed to put together a coffee table book with his
pictures and musings. If only the day had 48 hours... he just recently
had to quit writing for the Good Life Magazine, he just doesn't have the
time anymore.

Oh, those elusive lotto winnings! Sigh!! I think I would get a *very*
large property and turn it into a home for all the homeless kitties I could
take in - complete with indoor/outdoor playrooms and lots and lots of neat
climbing toys. But I'd also get me lots and lots of electronic toys too!

Oh, he really really should! Something like "The Love of Cats" by Tom
Howard (ISBN 0-8317-1203-1 for those of you interested) would be great - I
know I'd buy a copy, so he'd have a least one guaranteed sale!
Hugs,

LOL, I just went to get this book and look at it again when I noticed
hundreds and hundreds of tiny claw indentations on the cover from cats
walking over it on the coffee table all these years (it was published in
1992).

You and I both! I'd be the crazy cat guy (maybe even d*gs too!) in the
huge ranch in the Hill Country.
