I tried to convert this page to XHTML 1.0 Transitional but it seems that Blogger insists on using <br> instead of the required <br /> and I'm sure there are some other things that aren't quite up to spec. So it goes. Thanks to Eric Meyer, CSS Guru, I've fixed the problems that kept this page from validating. In recognition, I have happily added a new icon to the left menu.

In other news, I think I have uncovered a terrorist plot here in Philadelphia. Our cat Patti has been in the habit of finding my water glass and drinking from it. This is not such a strange habit (although a very annoying one!) for cats, as I can attest to, coming from a house with six cats. But, Patti always invariably tips my glass over, spilling it everywhere. After she has done so she never tries to drink any of it. I have seen similar behavior once before, at the home of Carole and Jerry, some of Erica's friends who live near Winston-Salem, North Carolina. They have a cat named Benny who viciously attacks glasses on their coffee table, not because he wants to drink from them, but because he wants to see them fall to the floor. I now believe that our cat Patti is a terrorist in training, and I think that perhaps there is a large cell based around Winston-Salem, her original home. Her repeated attacks on my water glasses have become more bold and more frequent as of late, and I'm beginning to become afraid every time she enters the room. This is obviously what the cat-terrorists want, for us to always be reaching for our water glasses and looking around suspiciously whenever we're enjoying some nice cold water from the Brita pitcher. I'm not sure how to deal with this. I like cats. I like our cat. But I won't be oppressed by this terrorist activity!
