It's Going to Be a Long Week...

I'm back... but not with a vengeance. Just back. I mentioned that last Sunday we took a bike ride in Boise and wound up at "Joe's Crab Shack" along the Boise River; this is a picture of the view from our table.

Prior to this post is one called "Testing". Sure, I probably could have just deleted the thing and have moved on, but laziness has its benefits (in other words, that's one less thing I have to do). What it was all about was a test of my new cell phone, a "Blackberry Curve 8330". Even thought these phones have a ridiculously small keyboard on them, they still have internet access and, therefore, I can use it to post to the blog when traveling (if for some reason my laptop is not with me). I'll still need to try taking a picture using the phone, and then uploading it to this blog site before I can call my test 100% successful.

On Wednesday of this week I'll fly one-way to Arizona. Yes, that's right... I'm leaving Valerie for another woman. No sense in getting a round trip ticket for this little adventure. My mother is in the process of getting her household goods packed and will be my navigator as we travel by U-Haul moving van back to Boise beginning on the 29 of September. There's a one bedroom apartment (handicapped accessible) that has come open and she'll be moving in on the 1st of October. From then on anytime her computer gives her troubles I won't be able to use the excuse of "I'd have to be there to see what it's doing" -- I'll just have to stop by after work and fix it!

In the cat market... our oldest cat Ralph has suddenly started peeing in a certain area in our bedroom. This leads to speculation of why he suddenly is exhibiting this behavior (when he's never had a problem with the cat box before). Perhaps he's experiencing kidney shutdown, as he isn't drinking like he used to and he (like our other cat) is diabetic. Or could it be kitty alzheimer's, where suddenly he's too stupid to remember where the cat box is? I fear that Monday he will be taking a ride to the vet with me... and at 16 years old and whizzing on the rug, this might turn into one of those "one way" rides.
