Steve,

So glad to hear your cat is doing better.

Yes, we did go to the shelter and adopted a new cat -- big cat, 2 years old, orange & white fella, talks a lot, very affectionate. You are right - it just wasn't the same without one.

Carolyn - your cat Casper sounds like quite a guy!! AND it sounds like you have not had an easy time with the cold icy weather. My sympathies. I admit to being glad to be back in warm arizona.

In other news - Dr. Dave Heydrick will be out here this coming week to be a presenter at NPF/Ali Center sponsored events (2 meetings - one in east valley & one in west valley). I'll be manning an info table (PAN & PDtrials) at the east valley event, and if his schedule is clear that evening, my husband & I will take him out for Mexican food at our favorite restaurant.
