Right, Dan actually loves that photo. The flower petal blooming with the adorable little kitten inside it, it just makes Dan choke up with sentimental feeling, brings a tear to his eye and a dulcet "awwwwww" to his throat...what, after all, are prettier than flowers? What cuter than a kitten? Put them together and you have a rare aesthetic experience capable of transporting you to worlds of feeling not normally experienced except walking hand in hand on a coral beach, sunset suffusing the Western sky. No, most certainly, Dan would not criticize that beautiful photo-montage! He would sooner break out the RoundUp and sit down to a meal of catmeat stew. --Mike
