In the midst of grading exams, I have acquired a new kitty - currently hiding on top of the linen cabinet in the bathroom. Her foster mom assures me that this is normal behavior for her and she'll come down in about 2 weeks. She is, as far as I can tell, a beautiful, fluffy, year-old tuxedo-cat - LONG white whiskers and little white mitts - and I go in and speak to her reassuringly several times a day. She merely regards me accusingly, though at 4 a.m. this morning she had a long conversation with Gus through the door.

I'll get pictures of her, as soon as I acquire a new camera, the old one (about 7 years old) having ceased to work. When I have time I'll set up a Flickr account and start posting pix here and on Facebook, but now I'm sort of rationing my time and energy for the stuff that really counts: Mr. J Goes to Washington (working title), the screenplay (work for hire), and much grading of exams.
