James - so sorry to hear about your beloved cat. It <i>is</i> like losing a family member - they are family&#33; My 2 cats are 11 and 8 years old. We had a cat before these 2 that lived to be almost 19 and my brother and SIL had one that lived to 24 years old. You always hope they&#39;ll live a longer life but you never know&#33;<br /><br />We went and got our free beer at our brewpub and had a nice lunch with some friends. DH had the day off as did all people who work for the Big 3 (although not so &#39;big&#39; anymore).<br /><br />Anybody staying up late for early results? I&#39;m going to try to stay up as late as I can.
