I'll miss you

Yesterday my mom lost her brief but fierce battle with cancer. She was a witty conversationalist, a patient teacher, a tender and compassionate caregiver, a 3-drink drunk, and the kind of friend you'd definitely want in your corner when things aren't going your way.

She devoted her life to the care and assistance of others -- as a doting grandmother to Zoe & Ethan, as a palliative care nurse, as an activation therapist for the elderly, and as a devoted volunteer at her local hospice. She made a lot of people's misery a lot more bearable. She helped so many lost ones find their way. She could make people laugh out loud when they had no reason to.

My family and I would like to thank you for all your support during the past 5 months. Rocketradio will be going off the air for a week of much needed rest.

Cat vs. Dishwasher. Dishwasher wins.



I think this photo is really hilarious.

Stuffonmycat.com usually features sad images of cats dressed up in crazy outfits looking all pissed-off at their owners, but there's some good comedy treasure to be found there.
