Two rays of sunshine

Monday was Presidents' Day, a typically uneventful holiday in my 30-some-odd years, but this one was different. I woke up at the unusually early hour of 8:00 a.m. (I work at night so I sleep late), called Shelby County Humane Society to inquire about a boy kitten I had seen on their Web site the previous day. His pound name was Ren and he was all ears (literally). Reminding me of a young Miles, the orange tabby who I no longer live with, I instantly knew he was the one. My sister graciously agreed to drive down to Columbiana with me, a 30-minute trek down treacherous Highway 280. When we got down there, Ren was brought out and was even smaller than I had imagined.

It has been on the Ellen show and has broadcast on WSFA according my sources by home. Growing up in Auburn, this station was our nearest NBC affiliate. When I was in high school there was a commercial starring a special needs super hero named Super Burrhead. His catch phrase was "Good credik, bad credik, no credik at all!" and he became a cult hero of sorts at AHS. I Googled him, but he has faded away into obscurity and has probably retired his superman tights by now.
