Oscar is not normally a snuggly kitty. He does, however, like to sit on my computer; so when I had my computer on my lap tonight, he was there. After Ray took this picture, Oscar settled down to sit on my lap for a good half hour. I finally had to move because my leg fell completely asleep.
Watch this Mormon Message to see how simple it is to show tremendous love to those around you. I give daily acts like these to friends, family, and students. It seems so simple to give hugs or smiles, but these acts are a direct message of love to my wonderful friends, students, and family.

Today I went to Westminster College to meet with a couple of students asking for help on their class projects. They are required to make a website this semester, and we are at the point where they are starting to have unique problems with their code.
I met my students in the adjunct office. The college has an office where part-time faculty like me have a place to work and meet with students. This office has three desks; two of the desks have computers and phones.
Sometimes, I cannot get to a desk with a computer because other part-time faculty are working at the desks when I arrive. However, we are all cordial and let each other know when we will be off the computers so the next person can work. But I rarely need one of these computers because little useful software is on these machines. For example, there is no web design or graphics software on these machines. I usually pull out my Mac and start working on it so I can grade and work on the syllabus websites I use.
My cute kitty Oscar just adores my husband, Ray. This is a picture of my wonderful cat while he sits on my desk and carefully watches Ray walk out of the room. Oscar jumped off and followed Ray right after I took this shot.
Oscar is a rescued cat. Ray and I picked Oscar up together, but Ray was the first to hold Oscar when our new cat was taken out of his cage. As a result, a deep bond occurred that has just gotten stronger over the past couple of years that we have had this wonderful kitty.
