  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 60)

    I threw together this video of Murray today. It may seem a little boring, but I think it does a pretty good job at showing people what it’s like having him as a roommate. http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=1747887&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=01AAEA&fullscreen=1 (P.S. Forgive me for the sporadic updates as of late. There’s a lot going on right now. I will tell…

  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 59)

    Words fail me. Everything was normal. We turned our backs for a minute and discovered that Murray had changed positions. The props may have been added by two thirty something going on 7 year olds. P.S. Have I ever mentioned before how much I love this cat? I love all of my cats, but Murray…

  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 58)

    Em and Murray have breakfast together quite a bit. Murray begs for food and Em usually sneaks a couple pieces of pancakes, eggs, or waffles to Murray whenever I am not looking. It’s ridiculously cute how these two interact. Murray steals from Emory as well. But Em doesn’t seem to care. In fact, he cracks…

  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 56)

    Murray was orphaned at a very young age. I’m sure many of you know that already. He was so young he had to be bottle-fed by human hands. I talked over Chapter 56 with Murray and he agreed that those human hands are what I need to write about today. Murray was nurtured by two…

  • Tuesdays With(out) Murray (Chapter 54)

    I’m in South Jersey without my computer. You see, we’re having Em’s first birthday party at my parent’s house. They happen to have a backyard with some of the plushest green grass you’ve ever seen. Plus, they don’t have those viscous tiger mosquitoes that have taken over Brooklyn this year. If those bugs aren’t a…

  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 53)

    The other day I was thinking about Schmitty. Schmitty was our 15-year-old cat who got cancer and died in a very short amount of time. Schmitty was chubby, loyal, beautiful and probably one of the sweetest creatures alive. We used to say that if there’s such thing as an 8-fold path, he was most certainly…

  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 52)

    I made lunch for Em yesterday and this is what took place behind my back. Remember this from Chapter 7? (Music by Loose Acoustic Trio)

  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 51)

    We’ve decided against letting Em cry-it-out and have instead enrolled in the more passive sleep education course. You see, Em is one of those babies who does not calm down by crying. Instead, crying makes him more and more hysterical until he erupts, spit and other bodily fluids spray out of his mouth, eyes and…

  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 50)

    I simply couldn’t resist. This video was taken yesterday. I hope it cheers someone up out there! They really, really like playing together. This went on for a while yesterday and I just stood there, smiling. Also, sorry about yesterday’s cryptic and grumpy post. I was having a “throw your hands up” sort of day.…

  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 49)

    Toby and I hired a maid. We made the appointment two weeks ago. She was to begin Monday. On Saturday night I began to freak out about the logistics. (How would she get in the house? Were we supposed to leave? Did she need to use our supplies? If we left the house, how would…
