Well, 'Scrapy' is officially a boy so we've renamed him Willy. Not just because he has one, but because he reminds us of a little bird which is black and white and is called a Willy Wagtail. I'm going to get on to the photo thing soon. My camera is in one of the boxes I've yet to unpack, so, soon, friends!I really don't have much news - that's good in a way, no dramas!  I do have a happy story to relate, though....My youngest brother, Dan, is a casting agent and provides actors for everything from tv commercials to movies. He has an actor on his books who has MS and who, to quote my brother, 'walks like Joe Cocker'. Anyway, my brother got him into a commercial for one of our largest department stores, then actually accompanied his actor to the shoot because he wanted to not only give him support, but also to act as his advocate in case there were any tricky moments. All went well. I love my brother for the gentleness and strength he displays and the love he has for people which is so often manifested in these acts of great kindness.

Yay!! Sometimes brothers are actually good people underneath it all, huh? LOL! I\'m always surprised when mine does a good deed or gesture, so I think it\'s great that yours is helping out and getting his MS client work. Is Willy getting used to the house? XOXOXO

Willy is quite at home now and not very scared of the dogs. He is, however, very wary of Reggie, (aka Catzilla) who would have to be the most bad tempered feline I have ever known.

When I\'m having an attack of TN my husband says I talk like Eddie Money.

Give Willy and your brother a smooch for me.
