This is the night before my latest U.S. trip.

There is this cat that keeps on coming in to my house! When I open the side door, she comes in, looks around, runs up the stairs…

I thought the 2nd floor veranda door was safe, but today when I opened it up to take in the drying laundry she came in from upstairs!

And just now, when I went upstairs, look what I saw through the dark window!

Maybe I should stop feeding her…

Just now was one year ago that Tao passed away…

When my friend, Hirokazu, sticks his finger in Hao-chan’s cage, Hao-chan comes over, stares at his finger, sings and then moves in for a tummy rub. When I do the same thing Hao-chan attacks me! He is fine outside the cage though. This is 100% reproducible!

Hao-chan helped me check my morning email.

Hao-chan looks curious about my preparations for my U.K. trip.

I’m off to London this morning for a week’s business trip. Look who helped me get ready!

While organizing zillions of old photos in iLife ‘08 I came across a pair of photos I took of Tao back when he was about, oh, two years old. I realized that I had taken two almost from the same view because I was manually taking a stereo pair (easy to do, actually).

I put both together yesterday as a cross-eyed pair, which means you have to cross your eyes to form one, stereoscopic image in the middle. Over 80% of people can do it. Can you see Tao in stereo?

When I whistle for Hao-chan he always comes and lands in my hand.
