The world ended. Did you notice?
It was a little past midnight, and I had the con. I was saving the world. All right, I was sitting at the puter, playing BounceOut. THe world needs to be saved from exploding rubber balls, after all. Stinky comes along and sits at my feet. YOO-OOOOW! he says. Pet me, Mommy. I reach down with one hand to pet him, but where's his head? I see. He has descended into meatloaf position. I can't reach him *and* save the world from the rubber balls! Does he care about the desperate situation? NO! YOOO-OOOWW! he says from meatloaf. MOMMY! PET ME! Now, there is the First Officer's Chair for such situations. He can sit there, and I can reach him with one hand to skritch him as I continue to save the world (and rack up a pretty impressive score, too) . I pause the game --yes, I know you can't do that when the world is really in danger, and I can't do it more than once-- and scoop the little stinker up into the First Officer's Chair. Most of the time, he's got no problem sitting there while I click away. This time-- NO (YOW!) He needs absolute, incontrovertible proof of my serfdom. He jumps back down, resumes the same place, meatloafed next to my right foot. YOOOOOOW! I lean over and touch the top of his head. BOOOOOOOM!

And I can't see the sun this morning. Hmmmm. Jill |

I remember from Star Trek that when Kirk would go off to investigate something, he'd leave Spock in charge things on the bridge. As he was on his way out, he'd say, "Spock, you have the con." *What does that mean*??? I used to think he was saying, "You have the comm", as in, the *command*. So is "con" short for control?
