Ardith, nope, I am home -- too many sick older human relatives to go to the symposium. The only travel we have managed in the last few years except for one conference where Steve was a speaker (I stayed home with sick ferrets.) and a few days trips have been human family related ones. As we all know, that's just what happens with people in our age brackets when there are a lot of home responsibilities as well as relatives in their 80s and 90s who have serious health problems -- just a typical life stage. I'd like to hear news from the symposium, though! Usually things are not quite so quiet thanks to attendees writing in. Hey, Ardith, COOL old tractor! I always knew that you and Alexandra have taste so can understand why this is THE ferret tractor. Ping! Oh, Ping, I am in AWE! We got our Tiger package for macs the other day and you will be glad to know that it says that our ferrets are domestic and pets! Just as recently as a decade ago we all encountered too many dictionaries getting it so very wrong, so this felt good. Well, we know Morney's new favorite place to eat a meal: under the covers on Steve's side of the bed! Yowch! [Posted in FML issue 4864]
