Meme of Three (or: I'm it!!)

I'm back from my romp in the woods, sans gadgets. It was glorious, thankyouverymuch. Nothing like a few days in a sleeping bag on an air mattress in a two-person tent to make you appreciate the waterbed that much more. Even cleaning the litterboxes is not the chore it was before my week hiatus.

On to the meme. Many thanks to Kfluff for tagging me. This was a fun exercise.
