We've had a house full of hamsters for the last month. Today, the last of the hamsters have been adopted and we now have an empty nest. Well almost. Matthew is still here and will probably be with us for at least another ten to fifteen years or longer. Speedy and June will continue to live with us in separate cages until ..... they either go home to meet Jesus or disappear under some mysterious extenuating circumstances. All of the baby hamsters have been formally adopted into six new homes. Ina's family decided to adopt a boy and a girl. Alas, they are residing in separate cages but that's what Rene wanted. My friend Andrea helped me find three other homes and two of Matthew's friends agreed to adopt one each. Now the office doesn't look like a pet store anymore. Now that this duty has been completed, we're flying out to Hong Kong tomorrow morning for a week at Disneyland. Anne will take care of June and Speedy until we get back. Since they've been separated, we won't come home to anymore surprises. Unless of course, we have the equivalent of the Virgin Mary in Shanghai. Then I'll have to make a call to the Vatican and get some attention.
