Here's some more kitty pictures. I know.....I'm so boring. But I was sorta sick all weekend and did not get out and take any pics.

Naughty little Manny:

Manny asleep.....the only time he's good.

Manny & Izzy:

Here's an interesting story. I walk by the building below in Soho ALL the time and wonder why it looks boarded up and it is always covered with graffiti. It's been years and this huge old building remains vacant in prime SoHo Real Estate? Who would leave it this way? Who wouldn't sell it or rent it or turn it into condos and make a fortune? (my guess was the city, but where were the squatters?)
So as it turns out, it is not vacant but one family lives there. An artist, his wife & daughter. That's it. In a HUGE building in soho that used to be a bank, is six story's and has 72 ROOMS!! Follow THIS LINK and you can read the whole fascinating story, with pictures. It's one of those crazy fabled stories about an artist who bought a building in a bad neighborhood in the 60's for $100k, and it's now worth like $40 million dollars, but he won't budge. Or clean up the graffiti because it got to be to much work.

Ciao,

Jocelyn
