It’s another busy day here in the CatBox.  Already very tired from yesterday, I had to prepare and submit my grocery order.  I also prepared our fantasy football report and get my clothing laid out for tomorrow’s GI visit with Gillian, Megan’s PA.  I need to be in the lobby by 7:15 AM.  Therefore, please expect no more than a Personal Update tomorrow.  Hectic hurry hugs to all!<\/font><\/p>\n

Here’s the latest from our own fantasy football league<\/a>.<\/font><\/p>\n

Scores:<\/font><\/p>\n

\"9Scores\"<\/font><\/p>\n

Congrats to Vivian, Squatch, and WWWendy for winning their games.  Kudos to WWWendy for the week’s high score.  That Sasquatch sure has my number this year.  I’m 0-2 against her, but this time, I should have kept my big mouth shut, right Squatch?<\/font><\/p>\n

Standings:<\/font><\/p>\n

Kudos to WWWendy for leading the league.<\/font><\/p>\n

From The New Yorker<\/a>: <\/font>Escalating his war of words against the person who sparked the impeachment inquiry, Donald J. Trump on Monday accused the whistle-blower of working for the United States of America.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said that he had evidence \u201cdirectly linking\u201d the whistle-blower to the United States government. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the biggest witch hunt in the history of witches or hunts, and it was all started by someone who was in the pay of the United States,\u201d Trump said. \u201cIt\u2019s a disgrace.\u201d <\/p>\n

But Andy, isn’t it normal for the whistleblower to work for the principal enemies of Trump and the Republican Reich, the people of United States?  RESIST<\/strong>!!<\/font> <\/p>\n
