Okay, Wy,

You're off the hook (hey, that would be a good hook!) for at least a little while. That business about "I'd a" leading into IdaMarie --classic.

And it's funny you should mention Boo Boo being there to help in times of trouble. Just yesterday, I heard a lot of commotion in our back yard --thought the resident hawk was working the food chain -- so stepped onto the sunporch to see a local tabby sitting all coiled up at the bottom of the drainpipe. I'm thinking, goodness, that hawk is SHAMELESS, going after a poor kitty. Then I hear some chirping and scrambling from INSIDE THE DRAINPIPE and Miss Kitty reaches her paw in , swatting around for something. SO, me thinks the tide has turned...victim is now villain...I think it all through...do I let nature take it's course, or do I somehow reverse all this bad bird karma and come to it's rescue from aforementioned kitty. At the risk of getting my eyeballs pecked out, I opt for the latter....I hobble out to the back yard, scare mean kitty away, then grab a long stick and sort of lightly tap the drain pipe to let the little critter know it's safe now (isn't that some international cross-species signal?) Apparently not...I am forced to pull off the curved lower portion of the drainpipe. I was petrified, sure the little tweetie would come at me...but again, good karma was urging me on....I was finally able to get the piece off...luckily it wasn't in that portion of the pipe....so I call "here little birdie, here little birdie", give one more tap of the drainpipe -- AND OUT HOPS A LITTLE RASCALLY CHIPMUNK!! Oh Mother Nature is playing such tricks on me!! Those two sound so similar when they're afraid and scrambling away from a murderous tabby. By the time I realized it was a chipmunk, it was gone....probably eaten by the kitty hiding around the corner. Oh well, I did my part, washed my hands vigorously, and carefully made my way back to the house. I just about peed in my pants I was laughing to myself so hard. What a dummy! Though I bet Steve the Crocodile Hunter (may he rest in peace!) would have been proud of me, taking on this challenge with two casts and still in my jammies.

Oh well, thought I'd offer up this "little" anecdote as sort of a "bon voyage" gift to you....and heck, when are you actually GOING to VOYAGE???

Coffee's a'callin',
