Catherine the Great

I've been calling her "the bestest bulldog in all the land" for quite some time--indisputable.

I've recently added "the best of all possible bulldogs." (Vicki-Marie Petrick appreciated that encomium, perforce.)

Her title: Supervisory Chief Associate Bulldog. (She even has email addresses: A real one, and a forward-only short enough to fit on her name tag.)

(Paw on knee, hand on paw, chin on hand,)

We adopted Catherine, about a year ago.

(Talk about burying the lede.)

Speaking of total chaos: She couldn't have come into our lives at a better time.


(Re-)Introduction

Hi.

Mitch Silverman here.

(I love this caricature. Drawn by Doug Shannon, of EvenToons--website out of order. I've taken the liberty of replacing Thomson-Reuters orange with Pantone 287--New College of Florida blue. The color of classic New College of Florida, not its putrid remains. Which is why I'm linking to the Novo Collegian Alliance webpage instead.)

Reintroducing myself, with not much of an introduction,

I'm going to post what I want here.

It's total chaos here. I'm under a lot of pressure, and there is no happy happy joy joy to be felt hereabouts. 

But if you think I'm vaguebooking, or you want "the ressst of the story," as it were...

go elsewhere.

As for more of an introduction: Later, perhaps.
