I have been in a mood to reduce things in my life. I am going to put a bunch of stuff on eBay. I have shut down several websites. I listed a dozen domain names with auction houses. I have an offer to buy smeerp.com from a writing magazine. Simplify!

This is at a time when the local stray cat population is doubling every few days. There was another stray cat begging at our door this morning. It is a miserable black kitten that won’t let us approach her. This weekend I will try to take some pictures of our newest visitors.

I have been formatting a short novel for a writer that I know. I hope that it will be done by tomorrow and I can email it to India. I am having fun with artistic aspects of the layout. In six to eight weeks I hope to have the results in hand.
