It's great that you're able to be close to your family. :) Berúthiel is such a beautiful, sweet looking kitty! And yays for the Shelf of Geek, I had one before I retired (now it's an entire room).

Most importantly, I'm glad that you were able to keep parts of the last Valentine's bouquet you got from your Dad, that is worth more than any geeky collectables (even a signed, first edition of "The Hobbit").
