I'm just about caught up with BZP news, the OGD, GregF's topics, the usual stuff that I usually keep track of when I'm not away. I looked back at the S&T Suggestion Box, and guess what -- my Official Language Topic idea was approved. So yeah, that was cool.

Home life: My brother has spent some of his time today sanding the end of a bamboo pole into a sharp point . He's a wierd one sometimes. There's also this black cat that keeps visiting our back deck. It has a rabies vaccination collar, so I tend to doubt it's a stray. My brother and my mom are all excited about giving it food and attention and even gave it a name: Shadow; But I keep on telling them it PROBABLY LIVES NEXT DOOR . I don't know much about our neighbors, so I can't be sure. That's because our neighbors on our west side live in a condo (three of them), and our neighbors to the east are moving out so nothing we know about them matters anymore. I call our neighbors on the west side condo-people, and they are quite peculiar at times. There's quite a few real estate signs on their front lawn, so I assume at least a couple of them are moving out, too. In, out -- I don't keep track.
