Today is Memorial Day. Today I'm remembering my uncle Clark. He served in the military, although I'm not sure in what capacity. He passed away from Lupus when he was 23 years old. I only knew him for five years. I remember visiting him in the hospital in Denver. I was too young to enter his ward, but the nurses turned a blind eye to me because Clark was so sick. He was retaining a lot of fluid in his body and he made games of poking at his legs with me. He was so brave. From Clark I inherited my love of music. Unfortunately, I inherited none of his talent. I know Clark would have coached me on the trumpet if he had lived. He was also very talented in the Martial Arts. I have memories of Clark kicking a bag filled with sand that was tied to a tree in our front yard. I inherited my stylish fashion sense from him, as you can see from the picture below. Coolest... uncle... ever.
On the lighter side of today, I realized that the two cats we are taking care of for my sister-in-law are capable of pooping more than their combined weight every two days. Scary poopmonsters. I am such a dog person.

My bunny poops way more than his body weight in a single day. But at least it's not messy and doesn't smell. And he's cute too, so that helps.
