We'll I'm home. Tonight we're grillin' burgers and playing video games. Dave and I that is. Maybe Becky and Jen too. My soccer game's at 8:00 am tomorrow. At least I won't melt like I did last week (meaning it was hot).

My hamster, Baloo, died this week. I was sad. He was getting pretty old. You could tell in the past few months he had degenerated somewhat. His hair was turning gray and thin, which I hadn't seen a hamster do before. He was a European Black Bear hamster though, and I haven't ever had one of those before. We probably won't get another one, since that will free up the "hamster quarantine room" that the cat was not allowed in. Burial services will take place Saturday afternoon in Belton.
