Here is a shot of Rex the 7th. Rex is Julia's pet hamster and our charge, while she is away in Texas. Today was a beautiful day in NYC. Tropical storm Hanna swept through yesterday, leaving sunny skies and clear air in it's wake. Val & I decided to barbecue. Boiled corn was also on the menu. All hamsters are a little different, but without a doubt, they all love corn. Just as Rex finished his serving, he looked up, as if to say, "Is there any more?" There was.
