Here’s a video of the Tour of Lawrence Street Sprints from last Friday night, made by my friend Keith Walberg of Gizmo Pictures. It gives you a good flavor of the ambiance of the evening. Pretty good time.

Yesterday, the kitten Kris brought back from his bike ride didn’t seem to be getting any better. Totally lethargic, couldn’t walk or stand. So, I took him to the vet to get checked out. Before I knew it, I was in the back helping “operate” on the kitten. He had a worm burrowed in the wound on his neck. It was so creepy. The worm would polk it’s head out every once in a while, but was super hard to get a hold of. It was amazing how big the thing was. The kitten has a super high temperature and needed some subcutaneous fluids and antibiotics. It still isn’t moving around too well. I’ve been squirting kitten formula down it’s throat every few hours, but it doesn’t seem to have much energy for anything. It does purr like crazy though when it gets comfortable. It’s amazing how trusting animals can be.

The kitten just kind of plops down where you put it.

I'm pulling the worm out of the opening in the kitten's neck.

The guinea pig was in to get its nails trimmed. He didn't seem to mind at all.
