Hello, and Happy St Patrick’s Day
I became aware last night that it’s customary to put a photograph of oneself on one’s ‘blogspot’, and that I haven’t done it yet.
I don’t think I will, either.
When people see a photograph of me, they usually tell me I look like my mum, which is untrue, as I’m never smoking a cigar or ogling 18-year-old men.
Yesterday was, as I mentioned, six months to the day that Melissa Rhyke (27) of Florida and I became a “cyber-couple.” I celebrated by pouring a Watermelon Bacardi Breezer and sitting in front of the webcam in anticipation… she celebrated by pulling a double shift in the lab, and not getting home until well into Monday (even allowing for the time difference)
So much for celebration.
But she did get to dissect a pig’s eye unsupervised, which was a first, so it wasn’t all a lost cause.
It’s sometimes hard for me to find the happy mental ground wherein my love for her, and my hatred of animal experimentation, are both contented, but as she always tells me “God was the first vivisectionist; we’re just carrying on The Good Work”
I’m not sure how; and I have yet to find the courage to ask.
My only personal encounter with animal cruelty was boiling a spider in my mum’s kettle when I was 12.
That was the day I resolved to never harm any living creature again; and the day my mum banned me from making coffee for life.
Thanks again
