Creator, writer, and fussy star of "Cheers and Jeers" at Daily Kos since 2003, a productive period during which I've used every letter of the alphabet except one.

Two Decembers ago, a Christmas miracle occurred when I convinced a reluctant city arborist to leave the squirrel den that was part of this tree he and his crew were cutting down across the street. Two years later, three furballs have moved in. Their furniture arrives Tuesday.

Janet dropped by the porch roof cafe today after visiting the beauty shop for a snack and a chance to show off the latest trend in tail sculpting. The "floof funnel" sparks controversy (read: jealousy) in some squirrel dens, but when done correctly it's sexy, sassy, and striking.

Millie joined us inside for Sunday brunch at Billeh's Rooftop Cafe. As you can see, when we say "all you can eat," we mean it. With 'orchard fresh' almonds and all-new comfortable plush seating, brunch at Billeh's is simply the treat that can't be beat!

Bailey ain't the brightest bulb. We caught him stealing a walnut today during brunch at the porch roof cafe. He still swears he didn't do it, but he's clearly STILL EATING THE EVIDENCE IN HIS POLICE MUG SHOT.
