Need to find the purrfect home for Lilli

Hi All,
I apologize up front for the multi-address spam mail, but we're in a bit of a pinch, Lilli and I.  I need to find a special home for my best feline friend Lilli within a couple of weeks.  Lilli is very sweet (in her own, self-assured way), an indoor kitty only, and prefers to be the only pet in the house.  She may be able to tolerate a very lethargic dog (though it's not her preference), but she just can't live with another cat.  Lilli is the perfect companion for a single person living alone, though couples are fine.  She's very independent, and doesn't require a lot.  Lilli is (I'm not sure how old, Jess?)  I'm guessing 16 years old.  She's had regular vet visits and is up on all her shots etc.  She's gotten a clean bill of health every year.  She doesn't scratch furniture, rip up wall paper, or anything else.  She may have a passing interest in catnip.  Her favorite pastime is napping.  

It breaks my heart to give Lilli up, but I'm afraid I'm going to continue to be on the road for some time.  

Maybe you can't take her, but perhaps you know just the right person.  I'm very anxious that Lilli goes to a calm, safe home where she will be loved.  Can you help?

Thank you all, and I'm sorry if this is the 1st time you've heard from me in a long time.  That's kind of yucky, but I'm desperate.

Hope all are well, and love to you all.  And thank you Diane for taking such good and loving care of her this last year +!!

Love,
Carl

Out of retirement, just like Lance!

Well, not really.  But does anyone actually quit anything when they say they are going to?  I'm sure someone does... but not me.  So I couldn't travel the 1072 miles across Texas (but who's counting?) without crossing the state border into New Mexico.  I took a spin out to Sunland Park, NM this morning before I surrendered my bike to the folks at Crazy Cat Cycling for disassmbly and shipping.  Now I'm just a regular civilian, riding the bus with all the El Paso commuters.  One thing I noticed... Northeast, we could use some work making our bus terminals attractive.  El Paso's downtown terminal looks like someplace you wouldn't mind going.  Burlington Vermont's downtown bus facility... thumbs down.  Let's not even talk about Penn Station in NY.
  But alas, it's time for this one to go home.  And I do dearly love the Northeast, the Green Mountains, and the people there too.  Thanks for having me southern USA!

Across the border to New Mexico...

...or 'Old Mexico' if you prefer

Finally! Something I can afford

My last blog entry :(

We've come to the end of the line... for now (me and the mouse in my pocket, and all of you faithful followers).  I rolled into El Paso today on smooth roads, mostly downhill, with a tailwind, and on the cusp of a winter storm.  It would have been a perfect finish if not for the frostbite (not literally, but...)
  I'll hunker down tomorrow and let the roughly 1,000,000 people of El Paso del Norte and its sister city across the border, Ciudad Juarez , hash it out in the snow.  That'll give me time to arrange to have the bike shipped home, etc.  Perhaps Wednesday, weather permitting, I may take a short pleasure ride into New Mexico.  We'll see.
   I can't begin to explain how much I have appreciated all of your support and encouragement.  Many of you have conversed with me via comments and e-mail.  Many others have let me know you were following me 'silently'.  Thanks to all of you, and of course to the folks I have met and stayed with along the way, I have virtually never felt alone during this (almost) 7 weeks. 
  To say that this has been a rich experience would be an understatement.  I'm not particularly disappointed that I didn't make it to California.  I wanted to get on my bike and ride across America as far as I could in the time that I had.  And that is exactly what happened.
   Happy New Year and Happy New Decade to all.  If it meets with universal approval I will be home New Year's Eve.
  With much love,
Carl
