The ongoing saga of Panda and her little Abigail

I've had two responses to my post that Abby and Panda need a new foster home. I am hopeful that I'll be able to pick them up from their current foster parents (who are fantastic to have kept them this long) and take them on their next adventure. Of course, last night I was so sad. Because being reminded of how hideous this whole situation became brought up all the anger and disbelief. How could a family just dispose of a loved-ones pets with no regard for their lives? The pets just experienced a great loss, too. Do people really not get that pets have feelings and form relationships?

I just heard a story about rising stars of the Republican Party on NPR's All Things Considered.
Dear KERA, please go back to the pledge drive. So much less depressing than the creeps coming out of the woodwork now as "opposition" candidates.

And I was in a pretty good head-space, too. I just got back from the gym, where I did some Pilates and weights. The ankle hurts, but it did not hurt so badly that I was unable to continue. Abs, quads and ham-strings are happy.

I picked some fresh winter lettuce for our dinner when I got back. We are having pork chops and cauliflower and -
I think I'll make some of Don Berk's famous cabbage soup. And then, I think I'll invite him to dinner.
