I've never been around cats that all wanted my affection at once. Usually I've seen cats patiently wait their turn to get petted, but Surely, Goodness and Mercy all have not problem with demanding to be petted now and simulataneously. They enjoy my hand brushing against their fur as I pet the one next to him/her. It's funny.
Compassion has put up a page, which they will update with photos, etc, soon. I'll post the links now. I haven't updated a lot with this yet, because I am in the last days of deadline and also finishing up the Soul Cravings blogs.
This one should be focused on this "blogger's trip" and a fun one to bookmark:

I'm not sure what this one is yet:

I did something I can't remember ever doing before last night -- on the Tuesday of the last week of deadline (which, as most weeks do, ends on Friday) I went to a concert to review for the issue I'm working on. An amazing show with As I Lay Dying, August Burns Red, Evergreen Terrace, and Still Remains. Very cool show. Fantastic, actually. I will be writing about it for this issue in a matter of minutes, Lord willing. I took over 300 photos. I hope I got at least 5 good ones.
:?)
I looked at the white marker board in the "lobby" area of our office (a giant living room of a 5-bedroom house), which says "Deadline 5: DVP 2." I'm pretty confident that I'll be able to change the score to "Deadline 5: DVP 3" at the end of this week, but boy have I got a lot of work to do between now and then! I've gotta place all the album reviews, edit the Hard News "bullets," write the Hard News "NP" stories (In our complicated system, that stands for "News Piece"), write the "Pick of the Litter," the Editor's Note, two book reviews, a DVD boxset review, a bunch of gadgets, and the back page. Yikes!
Lord, give me help! Please!
