Why is this "Cougar" material? Cedar and amber sounds pretty awesome.

Thank you. I needed that.

Huh, that's my given name, but my parents didn't give me an umlaut! I feel so deprived.

Loved the very last photo, of the kitten being bottlefed.

There's an animal hospital in Indianapolis called "Sherlock Bones." The sign has a cute cartoon dog in tweed cape and deerstalker hat.

I'm curious: did the Harry Potter books really get kids hooked on reading, or hooked on Harry Potter? And speaking of "To Kill A Mockingbird," I'm currently rereading it. Always interesting to rediscover the books you loved when you were younger, through more adult eyes.

It's pretty, but a heart monitor to grind the beans to the rhythm of your heart? C'maaaaaahn.
