While the Cat's away

Jon is in Moscow, helping represent the US education world at an APEC conference. He and Nora normally share a room (she for sleeping, he for working at the desk); when he left, he provided very strict instructions on how to maintain his half of the room. As many of you know, Jon is very tidy and neat.

Nora listened to the lecture and behaved accordingly. Her Pollies did not. Here's what happened within 24 hours of his departure:

First, a Polly scaled his lamp and started the party by swinging with some mardi gras beads.

Then two Pollies quickly moved onto his scanner/printer for a fashion show.

Twin Pollies having pool time.

Next, a Polly was spotted reclining on the wireless router.


Finally, at around midnight, the party wound down. Here's a Polly brushing her teeth.

Nathan's comment on this whole escapade: "I'm friends with the Cat. I don't want the Cat mad at me. I'm outta here."
