Man. I'm sorry to hear Greenie's gone. I know how tough it is to lose a pet you love. I always thought it was neat how she won you over, knowing as I did how you weren't predisposed to cats. She must have been special indeed.
But then, there's your 3/30/07 post. Maybe there will be another special buddy in your future?
Something must be going around. Last month I had a two day conference at the Holiday Inn at Baltimore's Inner Harbor but I had to stay at another Holiday Inn on the beltway. It was an hour commute through rush hour traffic and I bitched through every minute.
