Whew! Thanks for your emails

Thanks for your emails and phone calls! I realized that my busy-ness is no excuse for leaving you hanging...

Max is home! We put posters up everywhere and then found him on our block. A neighbor had spotted him on his way to work and again at the end of the day in the same place, holed up under a flat of wood leaning against someone's brownstone. Which is exactly where he was when we looked, and at a place we must have passed a million times. He was really dirty and freaked out, but seemed glad to be home. Pinky was pretty pissed, like she thought she'd gotten rid of him and then we had to go and BRING HIM BACK. And Sally was right: it took approximately 24 hours before he was back to being his bad self and not letting me sleep at night.

Super busy catching up from BEA; better update coming soon!
