I'm headed for San Diego in the morning. With any luck I'll have access to the net and can upload some pictures whilst I'm there. Meanwhile here's a picture of the new horsey living in our meadow. It is 10 months old, and belongs to our neighbor. No name yet.

You'd have to be nuts to want to climb Mt. Everest. So of course my bud Maurice Peret leaves Friday, March 23, 2001, to do just that. You can learn all about the plans for this fascinating adventure at 2001 NFB Everest Expedition He'll actually be the e-postman, and will stay at the base camp at 18,000 feet with a support team while the hardcore climbers go to the top. LA, Bangkok, Katmandhu! Tally freakin Ho!

I have discovered a cool site - Audible.com -- Store You can purchase audio books there, but you don't buy tapes or CD's, you just download files to your computer or mobile device. They have a variety of file formats, including streaming. I think it's particularly cool because you get a book, someone reads it to you, and you don't have to dust it or pay for shipping. There are a few free things you can choose from ONLY the first time you sign up for an account, and you get your first book for $1.95 (so choose well). Books range from $2 to $30+. I chose the new Stephen King book that will be out March 20, 2001, it's like 20 hours. I think once you download a book it stays in your online library forever, so you can read it again, or get it in a different format. They have some periodical subscriptions, too, like The Wall Street Journal and a series of Robin Williams interviews. This would be an even cooler site if I had broad band access, so downloads would be super fast. They have lots of classics as well as contemporary stuff. Check it out.

The cathouse has become home to a most unlikely creature - a tiny puppy whom we have named Bodhi. I found him racing up and down Listravia Avenue in front of my office on Monday. He's way to little to be out in the street by himself, and a puppy is one of the things from Livi's Christmas List that she didn't yet get. So there you have it. Bodhi must be smart, as he very quickly adopted a deep respect for the feline. Kit Cat's potential for dog ass-kicking appears to be well understood after only 2 swipes of the clawed paw. It won't be long before he's bigger than she is, so it's a good lesson to learn now, I suppose. Isn't he a cutie?
