Merry Christmas
It’s a little late for Christmas. My brother sprung the idea on me last year pretty close to Christmas. My wife and I felt bad about it and I found a few things for him. Unfortunately, he was unavailable for a while during and after Christmas. Things began to sit and finally forgotten.
I saw him online tonight and found that he was available for me to come over and chat. We caught up on a few things in each others life. He now has a DVR like I do, but his doesn’t support HDTV. Mine supports it, but I don’t have HDTV. Go figure.
I got my GPS device back as well as some old PS2 games. He gave me Unreal Tournament since he couldn’t sell it on e-bay at a decent price. I hadn’t played the game and had avoided it since it appeared that you could not play it on your own. Apparently I was wrong about that. I don’t know if I’ll ever find time to play the games though. Ico, Dark Cloud, and Dark Angel are all Teen games, so a nice child around here may get some entertainment out of those if they are good.
My brother liked the gifts I presented to him. They were season two of Ghost in the shell. He liked the movie a lot and wasn’t aware that they had made a series out of it. On the side, I got him a bag of Feline Pine for his kittens. The stuff works wonders here, as it absorbs all the ammonia and breaks down into saw dust. It is supposed to be good for the environment too. Everything else that we have tried doesn’t do much for the stink. Keep in mind that I am down to eight cats around here now.
On that thought, our foster kitty didn’t come back from the pet store. A friend had stopped by to take her to adoption day. My wife knows more about that then I do. It appears that we are down to seven cats. That number can change in a phone call. A while back, a feral mother was caught after many years of chase and traps. She is now fixed and in good hands. My wife assisted her friend this last time and got her. They (and many others) were so proud of a job well done. Most of the foster litters staying in our home were from this mother.
