Same way as dog agility, except the course is smaller and it takes
longer... They have obstacles, tunnels and so on that the cats maneuver
around, they even have a ring for them to jump through- I've seen
pictures of cats that just stopped part way through the ring, deciding
to just dangle there. I've never seen it in person- so now I must go!
There's a dog show in Novi this weekend- but I haven't had luck finding
anyone who wants to go with me on Sunday and the hubby has to work. :(

Umm... yeah. Danger Boy!! Would likely be very good at it- if we could
keep his attention moving in the right direction...

I've never seen feline obstacle courses, but there is a test of cat hunting
capabilities with a long, pheasant tail feather. Quick, accurate pursuit of
the feather is a necessity for champion cats.
While we think that every cat can do this, I witnessed an absolute failure
at the test. The subject was too busy rubbing up against the judge to pay
attention to the feather. Everybody said, "Awwwwwwwwww." The judge herself
seemed pleased by the instant devotion from the cat, but scored the cat
(deservedly) harshly and explained why to the onlookers.

IHB I received an e-mail from the head of the social sciences department
at Washtenaw Community College asking about my interest in designing and
teaching a Chinese history course.

adapting beautifully and is a lot of fun to have around.

re #179 hey congrats, that sounds like a really good opportunity. Do
you aspire to teaching? I'm sure Washtenaw would welcome someone who
has attended Harvard to their faculty.

I'm happy because:
1) I got all the remaining construction debris (so far) off my
porch and hauled away to the dump this morning, and
2) I work with some really great guys, two of whom were kind enough
to come over and help me with their pickup trucks. We hauled away
more than 1300 lbs of drywall, plywood, old flooring, etc (and it
is *not* trivial to get that stuff down from my house, thanks to the
fact that the "street" I live on is, in reality, a set of wooden
staircases and boardwalks, with 45 steps between my house and
street level.)

resp:182 No PhD is required, just a Masters degree. I do in fact aspire
to return to grad school, however I'm rethinking what I would want to
focus on. Also, further graduate study--more specifically, when I would
pursue it--would depend upon what happens in the next six months.

I got two developers signed up to my sports calendar website project yesterday
and we're coding away like crazy.
It's raining in Texas for the first time in it seems like months.

I'm building a website which will let folks have their own sports calendar
and we're planning to do just about all the major sports worldwide. Big
project.

Do you offer them a choice of photographs and software to make a printable
file with the photos and calendar in it?

IHB- I actually get to have lunch with my husband today! Since school
started we haven't been able to have lunch together, but today his lab
instructor had to go home to deal with a family emergency and he was
able to leave. So while I hope everything turns out okay for the
instructor, I'm very glad to spend some time with my husband.
