26 April - The Futility of Non-Feline Endeavor



Tragically, we continue to experience system disruptions - maybe it wasn't such a clever idea to place our IT department under Maintenance Services, which resulted in putting Gus, our maintenance man, in charge of the Museum's network. The result, of course, is total chaos - I'm writing this on my old Kaypro, leeching off a neighbor's unsecured wireless.

But the cats carry on unconcerned by the human anquish swirling about them; Leroy, above, has smoothly transitioned from posing among the daffs to these here blue blooms, whatever they are.

12 April - Consider the Lilies of the Field, Or the Cats and Daffs of the Circle



We're now in the second week of our tragic server disaster, but at least we still have Cat/Daff Season to serve as balm to our troubled spirits - I can feel my blood pressure decline as I contemplate the cats and the daffs. Above, Cat Natasha in the daffs.




And Nutmeg also takes a turn, her eyes half closed in deep tortie meditation in the daffs around the historic marker.




One will not be surprised to learn that contemplating our maintenance man Gus in the daffs does not have the same tranquilizing effect. Blood pressure rising... rising...




... But we were pleased to see Bayou and Nola pass through the Circle - very nice guys.

5 April - Alles Gute zum Geburtstag



Happy birthday to one of the Fellows of the Janus Museum, Ed McDevitt. Ed's particular areas of study are the Barbershop Quartet in Popular Culture, and critical beer studies. I will drink a Schneider Aventinus later this evening, in his honor.

4 April - Cat/Daff Season Continues Unabated



Leroy poses gracefully behind a daff patch as Cat/Daff season continues. Meanwhile, the Museum server is knackered - posting may be intermittent until we're able to patch it up. It's very irritating - I may go sprawl in the daff patch 'til it's fixed.
