Our new bundle of joy

Meet Apollo! He's a very spunky kitty whom we invited into our life about a month ago.

I've had more exposure to dogs than cats, while Sharon has never had a pet before, so there was a bit of an adjustment period at first. But he's doing great now. He loves to rip out all the feathers from his toys, and he is easily amazed by such standard household appliances as water faucets and printers.

The week we got Apollo, construction began outside our building to remove some pipe deep in the ground. I'm sure he's loved dealing with that while we're away at work.
