kittens!
While I was writing that last post, I had to keep leaving to pull the kittens off Alan's teetering tower of comic-book shelves. They love to climb on it and perch in the nooks and crannies, even as it wobbles and sways. I shoo them down and explain calmly that it's not a good idea to perch there, and Serena always takes forever to stare at me with a look that seems to say, "But we do this all day long."
