Say Hello to Coco. We adopted a second cat this weekend, and we've given her the name of Coco. As you can see, she's a cutie. Mr.Tibbs is very curious about her, if anything he is disappointed that she won't play with him. At 9 pounds, she is quite a bit smaller than he is, but when she hisses, he understands and backs away (further proof that he is the best cat in the world). She spent much of yesterday and earlier today under the bed and under the couch, but she has been in the living room all night, settling into the big comfy chair. We'll keep them separated for the first week or two at night and during the day while we're gone, but we're hoping that they'll become best pals, and maybe Mr.Tibbs won't get so lonesome during the day and while we're away.

Diet Coke with Lime. It's liquid crack. You must try it.

Fun with Cowbells. At bikeraces and running races, spectators line up alongside the route and cheer on the participants as they pass by with some in the crowd bringing along cowbells to ring and encourage the bikers/runners as they pass by. Along the C & O Canal stretching from Georgetown to Maryland, lots of people go running, biking, walking, or rollerblading on the weekends. I think it would be fun to take a couple of lawnchairs and park ourselves along the canal, and ring cowbells and cheer as people pass by.
