The title of last week’s post was “Blog, Book, and Baby.” Two astute readers wondered, “Where’s the baby?” It is the second half of a name.

This is Bella, Kat’s cat. She has been part of the Dodge household for three years. Whenever she condescends to leave her sleeping place and come into our presence, she provides live entertainment that is better than anything on TV: from scratching her kitty post to gazing out the window to suddenly jumping up and […]
