Meet Chipper New Hilton House Member

Chipper came from Sacramento. He is 19 month old. He weighs 14 pounds. He is a bit obese. At the moment he is shy and quiet. Hanako thinks he will be ruling the house in time. I agree.

View from the Window

I do stretch exercise on our bedroom floor in the morning. This is the view I see from the floor level of our back yard. I kind of like the mellow tree silhouette. My back is getting better.

Morris Winnacker R.I.P.

My beloved cat, Morris aka Morriko, went to heaven this morning. His estimated age was 16-18 years old. He was adopted by us in 1994 from a cat foster care home in Berkeley. He was a very clean and mellow cat. He entertained us with his "stretch" exercise. He had a good life. His death happened on my birthday. We miss him.
