Ohio

I bought a new bookcase that is slightly over 6 feet in height and I thought that my cat, Ruby, would claim that as her new home. I stacked up the plastic bins so she can jump up there and even coaxed her up to the top (she is probably the best jumper of the cats I've had over the past nine years), but she doesn't seem to be interested in being that high. At least I emptied out about four bins--three with books and one with photos and various plaques and awards I received over the year.

I probably need to get on eBay and sell about a dozen of those books since they are in new or very good condition. I don't read printed materials very well anymore as my nearsightedness gets worse. Most of the books were Christmas gifts from my sister and her husband so they really don't know my tastes very well.

Tell Felix that he is looking very handsome.
