So... right now our apartment doesn't have any heat (nor running water). As it's 23� in Chicago, the place is pretty cold. I'm alright (I feel like some sort of odd high-tech refugee -- huddled under a blanket in the living room, wirelessly browsing high-speed internet and watching something on TiVo) but the cats (and Shaun) were having a fairly rough time of it, so I've sent the cats (and Shaun) to Beth's for safe-keeping.

If you've met Latt�, you know that she hates to be picked up. So she got to make the ride in the cat-carrier. But Mustapha got to make the ride up front.
