A Billy Joel song wakes me up at 3:52 AM today and by the time I brush aside the covers, the next song plays on my radio alarm clock. I lean up towards the end of the bed and stroke Nelja's fur.
I walk into the kitchen and flip on the light, pouring some food into the cat dish. My thoughts turn to my breakfast as I prepare to meet some other crazies at the Hillsborough Balloon Festival at 5:00 AM.
I hear Nelja's claws tick softly into the laminate flooring in the hallway. She walks slowly behind me toward the food dish.
Since she was sick earlier this week, now recovered, she moves and acts cautiously, perhaps a little tired.
But as I watch her walk I laugh inside. Every time that I see the back legs of a cat, any cat, while they walk, I can't help but think that it looks like baggy old man pants!

The Life and Times of a New Hampshire guy
Introductory Words
- Tim Somero
- I'm a technical writer who lives in New Ipswich, NH. In the summer of 2007, I was laid off and I split time between New Ipswich and Brooklyn, NY for the summer. The beginning of my blog contains a chronicle for the summer of 2007 while I lived off my severance pay and saved money. Time and circumstance led me from the thrilling hustle of New York City and back permanently in New Ipswich. After finding some short-term jobs, I settled into familiar ground as a technical writer in the high-tech industry. Writing during my adventure to New York City was easy. Everything was new, exciting, and rich. Everyday life in New Ipswich lacks hustle. Neighborly conversation is often slow, yet rich in context and societal concern. Inside I burn to write and I will occasionally post something here as the need to write strikes.
