She made friends with him, but most of the time he would moan and try to find a way out of her house, so she returned him after a couple of weeks.
Every morning I bring a cup of coffee and the newspaper to Jill, and we sit in bed reading. Of course, (this is the point of my comment) he immediately lies down on the piece she is reading, even pulling the section down so he can step onto it...
Will is beautiful! Frisker has lovely markings, but no sense (or intent) that making herself attractive will have positive results. She too is sort of a rescue, having come to us after her person of 10 years died.
This San Francisco purveyor of graffiti has it right. When times are bleak -- when country and planet sink under the barely restrained sway of greed, raw power, and fear -- it's time to restate what matters.
I write here to preserve and kindle hope for a national and global turn toward multi-racial, economically egalitarian, gender non-constricting, woman affirming, and peace choosing democracy that preserves the habitability of earth for all. There's a big order -- but what else is there to do but struggle for this? Not much.
Topics range from the minuscule to the transcendent to the global, from dire to delightful. I am not an optimist, but I refuse to allow myself to wallow within the easy bias that everything is going to always be awful. Good also happens; love lives too.
I've been yammering here about activism, politics, history, racism and other occasional horrors and pleasures since 2005. I intend to continue as long as the opportunity exists. In this time, that means activism and chronicling resistance. Perhaps it always has, one way and another.
I'm a progressive political activist who runs trails and climbs mountains whenever any are available. I've had the privilege to work for justice in Central America (Nicaragua and El Salvador), in South Africa, in the fields of California with the United Farmworkers Union, and in the cities and schools of my own country. I'm a Christian of the Episcopalian flavor; we think and argue a lot. For work, I've done a bit of it all: run an old fashioned switch-board; remodeled buildings and poured concrete; edited and published periodicals, reports and books; and organized for electoral campaigns. Will work for justice.

This is Will, who has been our bedroom-suite-bound foster cat for two years, now. Two months ago, we adopted him out to a woman who fell in love with his picture on our animal group's website: http://search.petfinder.com/shelterSearch/shelterSearch.cgi?animal=&breed=&age=&size=&specialNeeds=&declawedPets=&children=&status=&id=&internal=&contact=&name=&shelterid=NM30&sort=&preview=1
