MmMm. Just saw my sweetie off… having her touch my day like that, however briefly, makes all the difference… my day has brightened considerably.

I worked late last night, and then went to the Bohl’s to play a game of mage knight. I think the game *started* at about midnight. We played a 2000-point game…. the levitating ram army worked well against his hill giant & co but I didn’t put my tank to very good use. I’ll know better strategy for next time. I won, but only by a hair. 1110 vs. his 1026 (I think I’d have won by a greater margin if we only went to tourney time limit.)

This morning, I rode Newtie ragged. It was some good quality time with him, because I saw him very little last night, short of hitting the sack and a short series of head butts. I made up for it this morn by running him all over the house…letting him ride in the grocery-bag chariot, and helping him to hunt assorted toys. He’s officially tuckered out now.

Rolie Polie Olie was on the tube all the while, so there had to be a slight variation for Newt’s sake.

Wayyyy up high in the rootin’ tootin’ sky… is a little round planet of a really swell guy…

He’s rootin’ tootin’ Newton
Smart and soft and round….
And in the world of fur and stripes
He’s the swellest cat around!

He’s Rootin! (Rootin’)
He’s Tootin’! (Tootin’)
Hooray!

And as far as fur and stripes, he’s the swellest cat around!

Now, while he’s all knocked out, I think it’s a good time to gather my laundry, and get some chores done.
