For those of you who either lack ambition or simply wish to avoid all that hard work associated with success, here is a helpful tip:

"Google" your own name. Somebody with your name is bound to be more successful than you. You can happily pretend that person's successes are your own! Ha!

Unfortunately, there is a danger with this methodology. Under my maiden name, I found that while some Julie's were admirable, one was a member of a scary cult I've despised since I lost a friend to it. Feel free to ignore your less successful namesakes or take any necessary measures to distance yourself from them.

Sadly, my maiden name is so common that the only way I can find my own accomplishments is to put things like "psychology" or the university I went to, etc, to find myself. But ah, well--at least I didn't find any illicit pictures I didn't pose for or anything, so all is good.

I still have a working Roomba. This in itself is a miracle that I can only thank to our accidental ferret (adopted when John abandoned it) who has decided it is a fabulous buddy.

I wanted to give you an update from the war front of our Grafton cats:

Guerilla warfare has begun: Gable, our comely gray striped cat, has begun a new war campaign on the Roomba. The new technique is not only innovative, but should give all cat owners pause:

He can voluntarily shed cat hair.

You heard me--didn't you? He can physically MAKE himself shed fur. He now makes a point to walk in front of the ROOMBA (though not too close) and drop tufts of fur. It's the strangest thing I've ever seen in my life.

Sigh...what to do?
