Carnival of the Cats #67

I am leaping back into blogging with the 67th Carnival of the Cats. As I gather these entries together, I am listening to the Higher Ground Hurricane Relief Concert from Jazz at Lincoln Center. What an amazing collection of talent, of cool cats. A reminder that New Orleans, like our beloved cats, is a part of our American lives, wherever we live them.

So in a mood of hope and celebration, let the Carnival begin:

I am putting this up a bit early, but never fear -- if I've missed you, you can be easily added. Please be patient with trackbacks; new spam filters have slowed this process down.

It feels a bit odd to have been gone so long, and back again, but I'm sure I will find my rhythm soon. Thank you all for your patience and concern.
