Would it come up to the porch to sun itself?
No, it was distracted by a tasty-looking bug in the grass - got it, too!
Once it had confirmed that no more munchies were to be had, it ambled over to the Japanese magnolia...
and up the kitty leapt, into the crook of it.
There, it took a leisurely survey of the park.
After, it leapt back down and was gone from sight.
I think the bfe would have liked its coloration!
By that time, the coffee had percolated and I was lured by its aroma.
Time to make some breakfast!
What! A funny scary movie rushing past on Comet's tail?
Indeed, 'twas a beleaguered Uncle Mike trying to have a bit of televised fun of his own, but the pesky nephew he was babysitting kept feigning fear.
"Deadtime Stories" was what he created for the boy, sex-driven versions of Goldilocks and Red Riding Hood and Peter and the Wolf... bwah ha ha!
Three tales was it, in the one movie?
Well, thrice he was interrupted from his own pleasures by the boy's cries for "another story, Uncle Mike!"
The fourth time, he ignored the pleas... guess the boy won't be crying wolf in the future!
Later in the afternoon, I checked my email, as I tend to do.
Surprisingly, I had one from Will Lynch!!!
Our 2019 SERMACS conference had been nominated for an award!
Well, tickle me pink!
I registered for it, of course.
It isn't ZOOM, but some other platform, but it still makes use of similar technology.
I had never even heard of these awards before, so I look forward to the proceedings!
Today, I also called Bonnie, my dear stepmom, for her 73rd birthday. That event was two weeks ago, but she didn't mind - it's always been just another date to her. The important thing was us getting to talk for awhile! It was just us, too, as I know to call while the boys are at school, so we can have an undistracted talk fest... and so we did, for an hour and a half!!!
That was amazing! Neither of us are known for long phone conversations, but since we cannot have our lunch-and-a-movie meetups anymore, the phone is the only way to hear each other's voices.
I sure do miss her hugs, though.
Hey, AT&T, how 'bout workin' on that? So I really can reach out and touch somebody?
What a dream, right, 'cause it certainly isn't the reality.
Speaking of such things, I've found a new show I like, "Alter Ego".
Five contestants take their turns, then, at the end, one is voted away.
That one is allowed a final performance, sharing the stage for a brief time with their altered sense of self, then finishing the song solo.
Best of all, though, has been the response from the studio audience.
Like me, they applaud the singer for daring to take a chance...
and they seem to confirm that image is not important.
There's hope for the world, and for humanity, in that.
i thank You, God!
