This morning I was writing some postcards using my red sharpie because I couldn't find another pen around. Fil, being every so catlike, decided she needed to be in my lap at the same time I was trying to write "Uzbekistan" on a card to a friend serving in the Peace Corps. For her troubles, Fil know has a nice red "permanent" mark on her otherwise pristine white little paw. And I always thought she was the smart one. Sheee-it.
