![]() I jumped back into management after 10 years of just concentrating on music and I’m having fun. I have been busier than I ever have in my life and that’s a good thing. We had fun recording it and it brought back so many memories of the son of a plumber. I was surprised that so many people realized that the entire song is just some snippets from Dusty’s most memorable promos. I wrote that song years ago in about 5 minutes. Well folks, I was so excited to see that Dusty Rhodes was going to be on Monday Night RAW that I had to put up a quick video of the title track from Another Pint’s album, American Dream on youtube. I will miss you Omega, you were the king of all kittens and you always will be. He ruled there on his throne of the sofa and waited for someone to either feed him or give him attention. The last few years, he got too old to jump up and down from the bed so he became the living room cat. We took him home two weeks ago to see my mother and as soon as she saw him again for the thousandth time, she said, “He is the handsomest boy.”įor twenty years, he spent the night sleeping on my lap until I had to go to bed and then he would join me there to sleep through the night. He had that effect right up until the end of his life. He had every girl that met him petting him, hugging him and kissing him. When I was in college with him, he was considered the luckiest male in Champaign. He could sleep through a nuclear detonation and then suddenly run around and go crazy. For the next 20 years, Omega could do two things better than any cat I had ever seen, sleep and play. That cat must have slept for days, because once they took him out of the cage, he couldn’t stop running around. I asked if I could see him outside of the cage, because he didn’t seem too energetic. They asked me if I wanted his litter mate who had been in the same cage with him. When I came back, one of the volunteers told me that they had made a mistake and that the kitten that I chose had already been spoken for. ![]() I filled out the forms to adopt his brother and had to go through a 24 hour waiting period. ![]() Omega was in a cage with his brother who was a brown tabby and while his brother jumped around, Omega slept through the whole visit. ![]() I had grown up with an orange tabby, but this time I wanted something different. Twenty years ago, I went to a shelter in Champaign, IL to adopt a kitten. Tonight his poor old kidneys went suddenly and he passed quickly and painlessly. We took him to the vet on a regular basis and they said that he was not in pain, but his kidneys may fail at any time. He had been sick for sometime but hung in there with the best of them. He passed peacefully at home with Sandy, Amber and I while Sandy held him. Tonight, July 18th 2014, my dear kitten left this earth after being with me for 20 years and 6 weeks. ![]()
