It is easy to understand why the cat has eclipsed the dog as modern America's favorite pet. People like pets to possess the same qualities they do. Cats are irresponsible and recognize no authority, yet are completely dependent on others for their material needs. Cats cannot be made to do anything useful. Cats are mean for the fun of it. In fact, cats possess so many of the same qualities as some people that it is often hard to tell the people and the cats apart.

Scott Tinley

Scott Tinley (born October 25, 1956) was a professional triathlete and two-time winner of the Hawaii Ironman endurance race. He was inducted into the Ironman Hall of Fame in 1996.

Now retired, Scott is a writer and teacher. His latest book, "Things to be Survived: Tales of Resolution and Resurrection" is a collection of thematically-connected stories about characters that faced typical and atypical tragedies but somehow find what goodness exists in the most unlikely of places. His previous book, Racing the Sunset, a journey through athlete retirement and the larger issues of life transition and change, is the result of one of the most thorough research projects ever attempted on retiring athletes.

Scott also teaches English and "Sport and Society" at San Diego State University. This 7th generation Southern Californian currently (2007) resides in Del Mar, California with his wife and two children.
