Michael the gerbil is still at large, though it seems that he has moved from under the refrigerator to under the TV armoire. This wouldn’t matter much, except that now the freezer is not freezing, only cooling. This may not be directly related to the rodent, but it’s always fun to blame it on somthing that can’t defend itself. Of greater concern is that he may now sink his teeth (literally) into the cords which make up our multi-media corner.

I want it to be known that I have alway been against rodents (gerbils, hamsters, etc.) in the house, and of the the many things that come with being the only male in a houseful of women, taking the fall for this one is not one of them.
