Yesterday, I nearly dismantled the flat files room, the small "bedroom" (really no more than an extra large closet) off my Studio. I picked up all the cardboard boxes off the floor and moved them temporarily into the Studio proper, checking inside and around and under each one. In the process, I picked up a small tumbler from the floor and set it beside the solid mass of junk that has accumulated atop the flat files in the years I have been in this house.

At least, I thought it was a solid pile. But this morning, when I went into the room to use the Artograph, which also resides in there, I found the tumbler back on the floor. So I started carefully burrowing into the pile of junk, and. . .   behold, Poe!

In the dead center of the junk there is a "cave", about the size of four shoe boxes, and somehow he'd found it! I scratched his ears for a bit, to get reacquainted, and then put the outer "wall" back in place.

I wonder if he'll go find somewhere else, now?

(Seems that whenever I post pictures like this, they invariably unleash a cascade of "Hey, JB, what's _________?" Let's forego that ritual this time, okay?)

I'm glad to hear it! I was holding back on the usual "Have you looked in_____?" hoping he would be found.

Now, how the hell did he get up there!?!
