MATT THE CAT


Matt is a crazy kid! I think if I could sum him up into one word only, it would be extraordinary! It's funny but I have no idea where the nickname Matt-the-cat came from. Probably something Dad gave him because it rhymed. Interestingly enough, Matt played a cat this past spring when his high school put on a production of the Broadway musical Cats. So he was literally, Matt-the-cat. But I digress.

The reason Matt is on my mind at this moment is that he is staying with me for the week. At "the hotel" which he calls my apartment building. He is going to swim camp at Dal for the week and living the high life as he goes about life with no responsibilities or cares. Except swimming...and the excitement of swimming was what woke me up at 5:30am Monday morning concerned we were going to be late! In the last two days though, he has been sleeping until at least 6:30...a much more civilized hour(sort of).
