I love Siamese cats. They are a whole other species, no? So smart, so demanding, so in control.

Kisses and neck-scratchies to your babies, TRex. And a Happy New Year to you.

You’ve got a Siamese cat with a Scottish accent?!

Don’t get him started on his years in the Royal Navy. We’ll be up all night. Especially if he starts to hit the grog.

Setting aside the obvious ones (ACLU, Sierra Club):

(1) If you are a regular viewer/listener, become a member of your local public TV and radio stations if you aren’t already on board there.

(2) Oxfam.

(3) The Yosemite Fund does a fantastic job of working with the Park Service to fund and oversee major restoration projects at the most beautiful place in America.

(4) Heifer International provides livestock to farmers in developing countries (somehow, this became the charity of choice in my family — four of my five siblings send them $ annually).
