I be.

That is, I remain extant. :D Yey.

Ku's most recent adventures include:

1. a foray into the world of stamp collecting (for reasons entirely aesthetic, a little compulsive, and not-at-all monetary)
2. experiments with paper glaze and similar dries-hard protective coatings
3. testing the patience of the St. Louis County library
4. owls
   
5. catnip, in that it has escaped the pot on the windowsill and is steadily conquering the backyard.

I have got a plan for that catnip, though... back shortly.
