Shelter Cats and Redemption

So....being the techie I aspire to be, I follow several tech blogs. I read about tech, I discuss tech, usually to a slightly bored but good sport Ashley. It was with sadness, but not much surprise, that I read early this month that Twitter's "Vine" shut down.  Vine, you may recall, was a way to share, or stream, 6 second mini-videos of whomever and whatever.  With Facebook Live and tons of other options, Vine fell behind the pack and went to that big smartphone in the sky this month. Just before it's demise, I received an email reminding me to download my saved "vines" or lose them forever.  Not being one to wish to lose memories, I visited Vine.

Less than thrilled?  I was a raving lunatic. There, I said it. After ranting and raving as only I can, I went about the business of my morning routine.  A little cereal, a little cleaning. The usual "neat freak" routine that make up any morning in my little world. I was stressed.  I was unhappy. That was all Sophie needed to know. Halfway thr...

I admit it. I've been lazy with my Tyler Tuesdays. No more.  It's back for 2017! We return with a return photo, Tyler's first photo, way back in December of 2000.   Notice the collar?   He had that collar on at the shelter.  I still have that collar.
