Lothaire, Dawn, Bisou

I heard from Lothaire tonight; it was great to see his news after such a long time! I sent him a email in return. I also got to talk to Dawn tonight. I was glad to be able to talk to her about her current separation, and feel relieved at having done so.
Marina wants me to add that Bisou, our cat, has been eating our toilet paper out of the packaging again... and I want to add, since I'm talking about pets, that one of our Platys, which we just got last week, died. He did better than our first set of Platys, though. They didn't even make it overnight; this guy held on for almost a week! The other 2 that we bought at the same time are still alive and healthy, though, so I'm hoping the one death was just an anomoly.

I bought my books for the CCIE Wireless tonight - $300 dollars worth. I'm going to read them to brush up on some of the wireless theory, and continue reading the 5000 whitepages I've scheduled... In addition to all the new stuff that comes out between now and when I feel prepared to take the test. It seems a bit daunting to me currently, but I know that I'll persevere. CCIE is waiting!
