Ernie Monstrocat has gone, and my heart is breaking more than a little bit. For those of you who read about Ernie, here or on Brenda Griffith's blog, you know he was a special, special cat. He came...

My dozen best iPad business apps

Cynthia Morgan (Morganica) — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 12:27:15 +0000

Izzy the 'Pad is the first computing device I've ever slept with. Literally. I hate to say it, but she's pretty much changed the way I do stuff. That red leather thing growing out of my left arm?...

Stolen hours, bullies and gloryholes

Cynthia Morgan (Morganica) — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 00:09:57 +0000

12/10/11. The words of “Save the Country” struck me with almost cosmic force this morning, about the time I was supposed to be judging a kids’ robotics contest. I’ve got fury,...

Towels on the floor

Cynthia Morgan (Morganica) — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 02:11:53 +0000

OK, I'm beginning to look like a doting mamma with home videos, but...I kept finding towels on the floor in the guest bath. Wasn't difficult to figure out who was doing it--not with The Princess Lola...

Making a cat gym (AKA “less ugly cat tree”)

Cynthia Morgan (Morganica) — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 13:05:11 +0000

Favorable (glass) reactions

Cynthia, cat trainer

Cynthia Morgan (Morganica) — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 20:13:42 +0000

OK, just had to brag a bit, although I'm not sure if I'm bragging about what a great cat trainer I am (frankly, if I were, I wouldn't be sweeping up broken sculptures), or the unusually large brains...

The q-tip that saved a life…maybe

Cynthia Morgan (Morganica) — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 20:23:32 +0000
