ewwwww

My cat is licking herself in a gross manner.  I wish she would learn to do it in private, like she does with birds.  Angel catches a bird and runs inside, into the bathroom, shuts the door, and the games begin.  It always ends with a poof of feathers on the ground and not a trace of bird flesh or bone.  She is very neat about that. 

Tim Russert's funeral is today.  It is a sad loss simply because the man took such obvious joy in his life.  Unbridled enthusiasm is not all that common, and he was always uplifting to watch (which is pretty difficult when you are talking politics!)  God bless him.
