Kate's grand adventure

I spent the Thanksgiving weekend in Cleveland at the Christmas Story House Convention, where I attended the premiere of a documentary I've been working on for the past year.

The feature-length film is called "The Untold Christmas Story," a behind-the-scenes movie, which stars actors from the holiday favorite "A Christmas Story." It was directed and edited by my friend Bill Szarka. If you are curious, here are the trailer and a couple of clips from the film.

As always, the problem with going away is what to do with Kate. Couldn't take her to Cleveland.

Fortunately, my editor Maria Burnham volunteered to take care of Kate for the weekend.

Maria documented the weekend for me, leaving out pictures of the little stomach upset Kate had. She wasn't eating much, probably because of the change in circumstances, and when she doesn't eat, she throws up. Again, Maria, my apologies.

Apparently, Kate made herself right at home, commandeering Roland's bed, even though Maria brought Kate's bed from our home. Roland was a gentleman about it. Maria's cat Wookiee, on the other hand, was non-plussed.

Here are Maria's pix:

Roland wonders, what is up with that?
