Your card arrived today, not bad three days from another country. I was
wondering about the bird on the stamp, it looks like a waxwing to me. Do
they have any significance in Finland?

Hi Marina,
I was trolling through the New Scientist web site today and came
across this article on the cause of type 1 diabetes.  It sounds very
exciting - both in terms of preventing occurance in young children and

Do you ever actually listen to the music that accompanies movies you watch?
Heh, I've been doing this for years but it wasn't until the first Star Trek

Madame Roxie turned out fine; we found her after the Great Disappearing Cat
scare, and she has decided she likes curling up in a turban; and she checked
out A1 when we took her for her physical last weekend.

When Nanki-Poo plays, he does it very enthusiastically, with much galloping

A couple of days before Halloween, a real estate agent left his card, along

(tomorrow's my visit back up at Mayo for my cancer update) I'm making the
call to get her shots, fixed, tested, etc.
She's just too sweet.  We're suckers.  Sigh.

So I'm not feeling well this morning.  After early morning duties I went
back to bed for several hours.  I finally drag myself out to the family room

The kittens are now just over four years old and since Ted (RB) left
us, we have had no lap warmers; Spock likes to be admired from a
distance and Persephone will only settle if draped over my shoulder or
under the covers of our bed.

For me... I'll be losing some teeth shortly, from long neglect for want of

Too many bad experiences and needless loss of teeth due to their
misjudgment.

I loved your card.  It came today.  You weren't kidding when you said

below mine on the label.
