Meet the Bocks

This blog will be a daily hash of life in the Bocks estate- a one-room efficiency apartment just big enough for the duke and duchess and our loyal kitty subjects. Trials of grad school, recent knitting projects, world-wide alerts on proper punctuation, obsessive quantities of kitty photos, newly discovered snack foods, and pictures I took while bored will all be considered news-worthy.

Meet the Duke. James Leon Bocks III tells the world in this media release that, incontrovertibly, he is number one. Also, he wishes to add that he thinks blogs are stupid. This will not stop me from reporting on his antics. James works as purchasing coordinator at Harding University and is "the awesome marshal" at Lazercade, the local lasertag hot-spot. James leaves us with this message: "Tell me when you need a good quote."



Meet the Duchess. Robyn Lee Bocks, a recent grad of Harding University, took this picture on a Saturday and went to class two days later. Depressing, but true. Between grad classes, I work on campus, knit, read and get into trouble with my friend Clarice. This picture, recently published in a local tabloid, carried the headline: "James may be number one, but check out Robyn's honor cord bling!"



Meet the real lords of the manor. These cat-ens (they're not kittens, not yet grown cats) run wild though the estate. They have discriminating palates and have been known to devour peanut butter, cantaloupe, spaghetti sauce, and herbal tea. No plate, cup or bowl is safe from their prying tongues. "Two cats in one room? Those people are crazy!" you say - and you speak truth. Soon, these wonderful beasts will take up daytime residence in the Bocks Front Yard Feline Preserve.
