Brain Freeze

Bowling tonight was a team effort... we won 3 out of 4. Since last week was the start of the second half of the season, the wins and losses start over at 0 and 0. So after this week we are now 6 wins and 2 losses... not bad. We are moving on up. Tonight was another see-saw night... bowled 205, 147, 185. Average going into tonight was a falling 195.

-I was shocked to see MSNBC/ Newsweek post my comments about the book they featured the other day. I guess I need to read the book now... after I finish the book I am currently engrossed in. I was even pondering the possibility of..potentially... thinking about the considering of the idea asking if any of the female readers of my blog may be interested in going out to grab a bite or something. It would be a big risk, but hey, it worked for the author of that book, why wouldn't it work for me? Carpe Diem!

The Cat Who Thinks He is a Dog: Part II
-After going home to my parents over the weekend, I unraveled some additional proof my cat is truly a dog.
A:) He was playing with the two dog's slobber-covered green frog toy. The toy was designed (and thoroughly tested) for dogs. The two dogs even played fetch with it not even 15 mins prior to my cat chewing on it and rolling around with it. I know what you are thinking, I must have put catnip on it... WRONG!

B:) My cat responds to commands. Okay, there are a lot of cats that will come if you call their names... but do they actually sit when you say "Sit?" My panther does! I was not too convinced when I first noticed his superior brain-power, so I had to test it out. After all, I know his pose of choice is the sitting position. So the experiment began... Experiment #1: Would he sit upon command while enticed by one of his favorite treats? After letting him stretch against my leg (and at the same time using my leg as a scratching post), he reached for a Savoury Salmon Flavour Whiskas Temptations. The command was spoken. The panther sat! He passed! Experiment #2, Would he sit upon command while on a moderately rocking recliner chair? This would require a great level of concentration and attention. With a treat in hand, the chair was rocking at about 30 rocks per minute... The panther was asked to jump on the arm of the chair, he agreed... the "Sit" was commanded. His claws dug into the chair's arms and he planted his butt on the chair. He passed with flying colors.

I love my brilliant cat!
