Squaw Valley, California

Photography has been on the back burner for a while, so I apologize for my shoddy participation. I'm using this ski vacation snapshot of my friend Mark to pass on some sad news. Cosmo who has been one of my favorite blip subjects died suddenly of an indeterminate cause at the young age of 5. He was the most athletic, agreeable, and likable cat I've ever known. The shelter we got him from called him Lover Boy because he new how to schmooz the ladies. There's something about pets that leaves a hole in your heart when they go away. Cosmo, I think you died early because you gave the love of 20 cats in your short lifetime.
