Gabe left for our new house this morning but not without drama. At 5:15 am, Sid escaped. It was dark and chilly and too early to be yelling for a cat.
The biggest problem here is that Gabe was taking the cats with him. The Goon Squad and I leave tomorrow. Sid was gone for an hour. He was finally lured back in by an open can of tuna on the lanai and when we decided to stop looking for him.
As an interesting aside - while this was going on, Ian let Klaus (our good cat) out of his cage. I didn’t know Ian had the dexterity to open the cage until this morning. This is probably a good piece of information to have.
Tomorrow we will no longer be Florida residents. I guess I’d better go try to track down those saw horses we let our neighbor borrow.

I’d love to sit and tell all of you about how I spent 10 hours at my house with the movers yesterday, or how I bought my very first present for anyone today, or about all of the ways the kids are trying to destroy my parents house, or give you ten reasons why I wish I hadn’t gone grocery shopping this morning, but I don’t have time. The Bucs play at 1:00 (and my favorite pregame show starts in 5 minutes) and UCF plays at 8:30 - plus my Mom is planning a big nice Christmas Eve meal.
Happy Holidays everyone!

Today The Goon Squad were playing with keys. They were playing with keys because we are at Grandma’s house, but that is not the point. They were playing with real keys and it was time for their nap. I said “May I please have the keys?”. They ran from me. I said “Give Mommy the keys.” They laughed at me. I said “Hand me the keys”!
Now I don’t know how many of you have seen “The Usual Suspects” as many times as I have, but during the line up scene each of the guys has to read a line off of an index card to help the victim identify the guy that hijacked a truck.
The line they all have to say is “Hand me the keys, you fucking cocksucker.”
I want you to know that I did not say this to the children. But I did come really close.
Instead I just told my Mom about it in front of them.
