@ dj: thanks, man

I was waiting on her to tell me her name, and then my pops told me that the little girl who lives next to him named her "Libby." At first I wasn't a fan, but she responds well to it and made it clear that that's her preferred first name (of course, a cat must have three separate names... but that's a poem for a different time). It's grown on me
@ Bat: ya know, that's a damn good idea. I'm putting Jimmy Hoffa in the reservoir for the next drifter tomcat who walks into my life.
