The little phisch is at school. The dog is at the cleaners. The cats are off napping some where, since that's what cats do, when they're not sitting on the magazine you're reading, leaving hair in your keyboard as they walk across the desk, or cheating death by racing under the dog's chin. In other words, it's very quiet around the house right now. I am getting an amazing amount of online reading done at the moment. God, I need a job.
