You know the old line about character is how you act when you think no one is looking?



Big Scary Man had a rough day yesterday, and I didn't double boil the corned beef to reduce the salt so dinner gave him a headache to boot. He went to bed early.



About 1 am, he got up and I heard him get something to eat, which he has never done before. The TV turned on, then I heard the computer chair move. You can't see the TV from our computer - so I got up to check on him.



He was in the computer chair, pulled out in front of his favorite recliner, eating yogurt to settle his stomach. He said he was okay, but I asked him why he in the middle of the room in the computer chair and not in his comfy chair.



"I can't."



So I was really worried, but seeing my face, he nodded over his shoulder. "I can't. Stink is sleeping." Stink was curled up in the recliner, if not fast asleep, pretending with all her might we weren't there.



As I shuffled back to bed, BSM said, "Don't ever say I don't like your cats."
