Introduction	The busiest person in the world--I am currently trying to work full time, work on a PhD full time, finish building a house, and run a sound and video production company. Sleep is mostly optional. I am owned by 17 cats, all shelter rescues, who live in a big, boisterous cat colony in my house. My learning assistant, Snowball, is featured as my photo (I don't have any recent photos of me that are any good). She supervises all learning activities in my home office, and refuses to allow a door to stand between us. She has excellent listening skills, and makes an outstanding lapwarmer. In addition to Snowball, there are the Manx brothers, Harry and Andy, the tabby cats Ernie, Katie, and MacDuff, the Maine Coon cats Lena, Toby, Sydney, Adelaide, Jenny, Polly, and Timmy, and Lawrence (totally black except for eyes and lips), Scooter, Elsie, and Hoot (more toes tan should ever be allowed on one little cat, and an accomplished conversationalist). I go everywhere in my house with an entourage, and rarely lack for supervision.
