Another Nite at Kitty Moon
A fun time! My husband has been playing bass with my singer/songwriter friend, Ollie Davidson (who also happens to be the adoptions counselor at Tree House), and they participated in a benefit concert last night for hurricane survivors. (See the Old Dog Music link on the right side of my blog.) I had a fantastic time and it was wonderful to hear Ollie play yet again and exciting to hear Dave with him! I'm so proud of my husband who in addition to being a fantastic pianist/keyboardist, is quite an awesome bass player. Excuse the bragging, but I don't get to hear him play very often - especially bass. And he's WAY too humble about his abilities.
It turns out that I might be a part of an art benefit in January with the same organization, Compassionista Productions (which my friend Jenny founded). We talked with Ollie about it last night. I was very flattered to be asked to participate and nervous and excited at the same time. It has been a long time since I've gone public with my art (the last time was a bit of a bummer), and to be able to do it for a good cause is something, needless to say, that is right up my alley. I've been pining for the opportunity to do more art anyway, and this would be the perfect excuse for me to make the time to do it.
So a great weekend has been had, and I'm fortunate to be able to exercise my spirituality by contributing to useful causes through art (something we will be doing more of). This is how God is served. Through action. Through intention and honest good will. Through art and music and being kind to people and animals.

Cara, I brought the new kitty home; the shelter people told me her sad story (was found with one kitten which was adopted out right away) and she seems a little depressed and withdrawn. My boy cat has hissed a few times but he is really a wimp. So now I'm really a crazy cat lady!
BTW, I got a new job; I'm now going to be an elementary school ESL teacher! (In the past I always did high school or college) Alfonso and I are dying to come to Chicago to see you and Dave (this is Tara)

Hardly a crazy cat lady with ONLY 2! Try 5 or 6! My vet has 9! If there are behavior issues you might want to keep her in her own room for a few days (they actually recommend 2 weeks) so that your boy kitty doesn't feel threatened. Then encourage play under the door and feed them tasty food on either side of the door. Congratulations! I'm very happy for you, Tara.
