So here's what's up...

Hi All,

We've put up some new photographs that you can look at. Miri has posted some pictures of the tiger cubs at Cat Tales:

And I've put some pictures of Miri up here:

We don't have a whole lot of news to report. The weather is very nice here in Spokane. Now that we have a warming trend after our absurdly heavy winter, we now have flood watches in effect everywhere. Our dog still likes chasing after her ball.

Miri has about four months left in her program, and we are likely to move this fall, although we still don't know where. If you hear of a new zoo opening up, please let us know.

Also, I've been entertaining myself and about four readers by writing a blog about the struggles of the single Orthodox Christian called Orthromance. Here's the link:

Some of the humor will be a bit on the obscure side, but I hope you'll find some of the jokes funny. Our newest feature is a little box where you can enter your e-mail address if you want to get the new posts as they come out.

And then, as always, here's my personal blog, where I just post random things that happen:

We hope you're well!

Love,
Eric

I make the big time!

Hello dear readers,

I got published in the Onion Dome! I'm famous now! Whoo hoo!

Here are the links to the two articles:

New Confession Guide Bans Retelling of Liturgical Gaffes

Top Nine Rejected Onion Dome Headlines

Now, a warning about the first article and the comments that follow on The Onion Dome: It will get inappropriate jokes stuck in your head forever. The subject of the article is those eternal jokes.

Anyway, thanks for reading, and thanks for all of your kind comments. I am going to post some more Orthromance blog postings soon. I have an idea of what I want to say about "Match-Making and Other Bad Advice," my challenge is to make it actually funny. I also have written what I want to say about "Early Babies and Other Hazards of Passion" but I think I'll hang on to that until the end, since the blog has been, up until this point, mostly about the trials of loneliness, and that's about the next stage in your life, after you've found someone you're really enthusiastic about.

When I do think of something to write, I'll put it up.

In Christ,
Thomas Eric Ruthford
