Teji was a practitioner of "catch and release" after bringing her catch home through the cat door when it came to rodents and birds. We are wondering, given her survival in the wilds of Richmond, if she has discovered that her "play things" are also a food group. More likely she just added a few friendly houses to her new patrol route, and managed to beg enough to survive on. Evidently she was lairy enough not to let anyone capture her.

We're inviting the neighbors who contacted us for a small celebration at our neighborhood tavern, The Old Goat. I think we'll leave Teji home.

"Tejitu" in case anyone is interested is Ethiopian for "spirited (literally honey wine)." It's a common name for a bargirl.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
