I named my 1st ferret Katie - after Katie Couric of NBC's today show. She showed great courage through her husband's colon cancer, the same disease that took my mother. It seemed sort of fitting. So then, I had a Today Show theme going. Next came my chocolate, Matt (Lauer), who is of course a hunk and a cutie. Then, Al (Roker) who just happens to be a skinny little hyper deaf DEW. (whoops!) As for excuses with the boss. My boss DID understand that I was late because I was feeding duck soup and that I had to run home at lunch and leave early every day for a few weeks. I guess working hard for him and putting in those late hours for 8 years paid off! Kristeen & the Today Show ferrets: Katie, Matt & Al ---------------------- [Posted in FML issue 2953]
