Movin' On Up ...

... or over, or under, or through, whatever.  I am moving my blog to WordPress since that is where my work blog is hosted and I've found it a little easier to work with.  So, farewell to amilewide on blogger.com and hello to amilewideandaninchdeep.wordpress.com.  Follow me over to the other side (or the bottom, or the top, or ... well, you get the picture).

The Cat Scan

The Cat Scan

Wow. I stumbled across this site today and all I can say is: I want to do this! The problem is, I don't think any of my cats would cooperate by sitting/standing on the scanner long enough. If I didn't want them on it, they would be on it 24/7 but as soon as I ask them to do it, they will refuse just to be contrary. Such are cats ...

Speaking of cats, I recently read a wonderful book: Homer's Odyssey by Gwen Cooper, about a remarkable cat who had to have his eyes removed at a very young age and therefore never learned to see. Despite this "handicap," Homer learned how to navigate his home, catch flies, climb EVERYTHING and make humans fall in love with him. Homer survives several moves, a flight from Miami to New York, 9/11 (living just blocks from Ground Zero) and his Mommy's marriage to a man who (supposedly) doesn't like cats.
