Goliath, computer nerd; Lowden Trek: The Wrath of Reid

Shadow, 1993-2009
Jennifer & I just said goodbye to a faithful friend of 13 years, Shadow. A slim, sleek Norwegian Forest Cat, she came into my life on a fine autumn afternoon in 1996. I was still recovering from a broken engagement … Continue reading
Goliath finds a home
Goliath sneaks up on erstwhile housemate Piglet. After a week of foster parenting, we were able to find a good, loving home for Goliath (although it near to broke our hearts to see him go). His new family is set … Continue reading

Kitty rescue at Caesars; Stingy Station
As we were driving to LVA HQ this morning, we spotted a disoriented-looking little cat running through the Flamingo Rd./I-15 interchange, across from Caesars Palace. We were in a quandary about what to do until it turned and started ambling … Continue reading

Case Bets: Fasolt, etc.
A reader has asked how Fasolt got his name. I'm to blame for that, because he was called "Marble" when I met him. He was living in a foster home in Minneapolis, after a woman had thrown out her boyfriend … Continue reading
