As Follow-up...

... to the turtle post:

I finally got my turtle rearing books from the library.

When I first told Ray they were waiting for me at the library, I asked him if he was ready for this BIG commitment (meaning the responsibility of keeping a living-thing living). He said, "I don't know Cali, are you ready for the commitment? I mean you have to return them on time and if you don't they fine you. Checking out books IS a big commitment." He said it all cheeky-like too.

Don't worry though. I got the last laugh. I left this on his side of the bed, to discover while I was at work.
