Happy New Year! I've been on vacation since the 23rd of December, so I haven't yet had time to think up much to blog about so far in 2006, though I did have a fun and exciting holiday extravaganza with Our Lady of the Squirrels during which a few things of possible interest did occur... but for now, I'll just share this diggin' squirrel photo I snapped in Monsignor McGolrick Park in GPT and a few links, one to the NY Times story on cuteness (viva la Stick!), and one about a heroic cat which has been sent in to the tipline by reader and noted cat fancier Jenn S., with an accompanying video.
