Of snow and cats...

It’s a cold and snowy day in Cowtown, so what can I do on the intranet that doesn’t involve me spending money I don’t have? Start a blog! I’ve been meaning to do something like this for a while now in an effort to keep all of my friends outside of Denver up to date on my life – what shows I’ve been hitting, the tunes I’ve been spinning, and my latest pop culture obsessions. I hope to eventually figure this stuff out well enough to add some photos of life in Colorado (yep, computers still aren’t my strong point). So please check back often – any feedback or help you can send my way would be appreciated.

Like I mentioned earlier, it’s snowing here – it started last night, and has been going slowly but surely since then. The roads haven’t been affected, which is good. I don’t mind snow until it makes things inconvenient for me. Unfortunately, it also means I’m stuck in the house with our cranky old cat Sky Pilot. Sky is always obsessed with going outside, as she has been an indoor cat since moving to the Mile High City. She has never gotten used to this, and anytime you walk through the living room she makes a mad dash for the door in the hopes that you’ll take her out for a walk. What’s funny about a day like today is that if I open the door and offer to walk out with her, she looks incredibly confused by the weather. “Hey, it was nice and sunny yesterday, what in the hell is this crap?” Then she’ll howl at me as if the snow is my fault.

As I mentioned, Sky Pilot is a bit old and cranky. I think veterinarians have a medical term to describe her condition. I’m pretty sure that term is “batshit crazy.”
