Boston, MA

You know it’s a slow news week when you come back from a trip and a death-predicting cat dominates the headlines. It’s not even a Boston story!  Well, I should be grateful for the inactivity (other than Lindsay Lohan), considering the day I came back from Asia last time was September 10, 2001.

First, I found the kitty story compassionate and a tribute to the sweet mysteries of life. Then, I thought too much on it and it started to creep me out, like that cat from Stephen King’s Cat’s Eye and the stories of cats who steal your breath. Hmmm…I wonder if any of the nurses found Oscar hovering a *little* too close to their patients’ mouths? *shudder*
