Lullaby, and good night

I’ve been meaning to post this photo of Sam at his most precious. Here he catches a few winks on our bed when we were in upstate New York for a wedding a few weeks ago. Cute, cute and cute!

Savannah on a Segway

Kinetic TouristsCarriage tours are so passe. An entrepreneurial gentleman with connections to Savannah, GA is offering tours of the city’s historic district – on Segway HTs! At $65/person for a two-hour session including training, the tours are not cheap, but what a great way to enjoy a Segway short of plunking down $5k for one yourself. I wouldn’t recommend it in the August heat – but you snowbirds heading down I-95 this Winter should stop by and check these out.

Shave and a Haircut

chaos - 1 chaos - 2

So as my long time feline buddy Chaos ages, he has been less and less thorough with grooming himself. That job usually falls to Amy and I, but with the arrival of Sam we’ve had less time to help him with these tasks. That combination of events means a fair bit of matting for the old guy, so off he went to be shaved at the vet recently. He looks like a goofball/alien/creature with his new ‘do – puffy around the head but stubbly everywhere else. You be the judge.
