I just got a new pet cat! I named it Wemberly. Mom says I can keep him if I look after him and rake him every day. She said if I get sick of him, she knows a really nice farm where he can go and live, so there's really no pressure.

Last weekend a bunch of us camped out overnight in our fort. We made a throne out of razor wire for the Frightmaster to sit on, and took turns sitting on it and telling scary stories with a flashlight under our face. Bobby told one about a ghost named Lucius who haunted the guy who stole his golden solar plexus. Vinnie was so scared he peed in his sleeping bag. It was totally sweet.
