Morning Joe Re-Tweeted Me!
Probably not that big a deal, but made me feel good. I commented about the President's comments to withdraw troops from Afghanistan and how many service men I talk to believe in the mission. Someone at @Morning_Joe liked my comment enough to re-tweet it.
Excuse me while I deflate my pathetic ego.

30 Cats in 30 Days - What's in a name?
So Ange is smiling because she knows she just suckered me into keeping "The Cat".
The cat needed a name. I raise other peoples kids. Put the two together - Foster Kitten.
Foster Kit for short. Get it?

30 Cats in 30 Days - Foster
The Milton Harvest Festival parade was on the 18th of September this past year. I had watched my share of the parade, gorged on Gunzey sausages, and made my rounds of the festivities. It's hard not to. The festivities take place on the street in front of my home.
My phone rings and I see that Angie Witter is calling me. "Hi Ang. What's up?"
"Can I drop something off at your apartment?"
"Sure."
I figured that she had watched the parade with her uber-son Trace and needed to stow folding chairs or blankets. Not so. She comes up the steps bearing a furry present - a cat. Angie explains how the "poor little thing was lost and wandering on the parade route" and was sure to get squashed by a fire engine. "You would like a cat, wouldn't you Kurt?"
I tried to explain that I really didn't need a pet running around the apartment. I even got Tracer on my side when I suggested that the cat would be better off staying with her two dogs and several cats. Ang quickly turned that argument, explaining that her hubby Tim would wig if she brought home another pet. Trace attempted his best fists on hips, I'm not leaving unless we take the cat with us, Superman pose, complete with protruding lower lip. Angie (I thought at the time) wavered and asked if I would watch the cat long enough for her to go get her kitty carrier. (Had I been thinking quicker, I would have realized this for a scam. She managed to carry the cat to my apartment and she only lives five minutes from downtown. Why would she need a cat carrier?)
Just in case the cat belonged to someone downtown, I took a picture of the cat (with Trace) and floated a lost cat poster around the neighborhood. No one ever claimed the cat and Angie hasn't stopped back in the past nine months with a cat carrier. Hmm?

30 Cats in 30 Days
The Nexus commercial has led me to post 30 cat pictures in 30 days.
"Ackkk! When did the mouse get a laser! My eyes!"

THOR!
My first official movie of the summer was worth the price of admission. Thor is a solid summer flick. It will probably hold it's own against the many other superhero movies coming out this summer, but is doubtful to be the best. Nice visuals, 3d worked, and a story that was easy to follow makes THOR a good pick; just not a great one. If you have limited opportunity to get out to the movies this summer, you might want to wait for X-men or Green Lantern.
