Sorry Sonya & Chris

I have to apologize to our dear friends here. Corbett and I went to Ichiban for dinner last night, and didn't call them. The reason though, was that we had decided to go out to eat at 7:30, and that's past their dinnertime. So it's not entirely my fault. (Nothing ever is.) Plus, Ichiban was a last-minute decision—we left the house not certain where we'd end up. We had the most adorable waitress ever, and the dinner was definitely delish.

Not much else to report in the 'burg as of late, though. Just a lot of working and lounging about. Dante is continuously obsessed with the balcony window. That's nothing new, but I think it's getting worse. He is excited when we wake up, and when we get home, but all that excitement wanes once he realizes he's not been looking outside for five minutes. This morning, he has been staring at a squirrel, and everytime we let him out on the balcony, the squirrel runs off. Then Dante stares intently at the spot the squirrel was, and waits for it to return. The squirrel does, and we repeat this joyful event.

This is fun with squirrels, where Dante is silent. With cats, it is also enjoyable, because Dante whimpers a lot, but doesn't make too much noise. With dogs or kids, it's miserable, because he barks loudly and endlessly until the evil creatures are out of sight. Go figure.
