Ellie!

Last week, Matthew and I adopted a two month old kitten. We named her Elliot, Ellie for short. Yes, we picked Elliot after Elliot Stabler from Law&Order SVU, one of our favorite shows. Hopefully they'll be great friends like Olivia and Elliot on the show. She's so tiny and cute and purrs all the time. We were very worried about how Olivia would react to her but so far it's been going well. They chase each other around all the time but aren't hissing as much. I'm hoping this will lead to them snuggling together, cleaning each other and overall harmonious living in Kitten Kingdom.

Right now, Elliot is sleeping on my lap, purring up a storm!

Upon hearing the news about the death of Osama bin Laden, my friend Marie posted this quote from the very wise Martin Luther King Jr.

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."

- Martin Luther King Jr.

It's something to think about.
