Advice from Ziggy: When it is almost time for bed, you should run into the bathroom and find the pony-tail holders. Grab a couple and run around the upstairs meowing through your teeth. Then throw one on the floor and see if anyone will pick it up and play with it. If they won't, go back into the bathroom and get another one, and put it in the bed. After the lights are turned out, you can have a good game on top of the blanket. It's fun for the whole family!

Susie here: Tonight we went to dinner at Modern Apizza, in New Haven. Last time we were there, my dad was here visiting with my younger brother and sister. That was a fun night. And tonight it was fun to remember that. (But nobody got sick this time.)

It appears that the students are back in town, or at least some of them are. There was quite a crowd on the streets tonight.

It's hard to believe the summer is just about gone already.
