My old PADI Divemaster cap has seen better days. I wore it for many years. I didn't want to buy a new one since it was developing a character of its own. Sun and salt did their worst to destroy it. Nevertheless, it and I are still alive.

Lulu, my 13-year-old Maine Coon cat died suddenly a few days ago. I'm feeling very sad. She was such a good little companion.

Lulu likes to lie on the kitchen counter by the sink to let the afternoon sun shine on her face. Falls asleep every time.
