Tuesdays with Murray (Chapter 21)
TobyJoe and I have done some stupid things in our time. We picked up and moved to San Francisco (a place neither one of us had ever been before) for a job that ended up sucking. There was the time we played pool for 9 hours and drank at least a 12-pack of beer apiece.…

Tuesdays with Murray (Chapter 20)
When Lisa first wrote to me about Murray, she said, “You have to meet this guy. I am holding him for you. You need to laugh.” The last bit was in response to our having just put our most beloved 14-year-old cat to sleep. An experience that would have sent me over the edge had…

Tuesdays with Murray (Chapter 19)
We just got back from Pennsylvania and I have a lot of cleaning to do partly because of Murray and his two friends. He’s exhausted. They apparently threw a party while we were away.

Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 18)
Emory is happiest whenever he’s being held. So I hold him a lot, which usually leaves me with only one free arm. I’ve spent a lot of time discovering things to do with one arm. There aren’t many. Reading a book isn’t easy to do with a newborn. (At least for me.) Cleaning is impossible.…

Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 17)
Some folks have asked me how the cats (specifically, Murray) have dealt with our new addition. In typical feline fashion, they’ve all dealt with Emory in very different ways. Let me explain. Pookum is very aware of Emory. She looks at him as if she’s trying to figure him out. She rarely goes near him…

Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 16)
Well, I’ve actually been trying to get some work done today, which means I haven’t had a chance to write my weekly Tuesdays with Murray post. So, I’m gonna copout this week and post a video of him as a kitten chatting it up with me. Murray says hello. (Video) And here’s a picture I…

Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 15)
I was given a baby blanket as a gift. It’s the softest item I have ever laid my hands on. I was so excited to wrap Emory in it. I thought it might even become his blankie. I had one when I was a baby. I damn near ripped that thing to shreds I loved…

Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 14)
On Saturday, I got up at 5 AM. Tired and bleary eyed, I wandered into the kitchen for some water and a snack. My aunt dropped by last week and left me 6 pink cupcakes. I love cupcakes and that love has blossomed now that I’m breastfeeding Emory. I had been dreaming about these cupcakes…

Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 12)
Murray has a bedroom. He claimed it the day he moved in. It’s right near the rear window that faces Manhattan. It’s down by the heater, tucked between the white radiator cover and the wall. It’s more of a corner than a bedroom but he doesn’t know the difference. And being a New Yorker, where…
