I got hooked on Dr. House in the early episodes. I'm not sure why. He's a brilliant problem solver, cynical, occasionally demonstrates a heart of gold, and is forever in pain. Maybe it was the sharp contrast with all those other soupy medical shows.

Hope Wakana is plastering the neighborhood with kitty wanted posters. We lost one of ours for 11 weeks before we were able to track her down with the help of some folks down by the river, a mile from our house, in her jungle. Teji was very pleased to be found.
