Thanks, Anacrusis. I love the kind energy. I hope you're doing well.

Mrs. D., I'm glad you're able to have kitties. I can't have them - not really a cat person either, though I do enjoy my sister's cats. There's too much of a risk for Mycoplasma infections. Having already had one, I'd rather not repeat it!

Teresa, My Dad's been gone for 16 years now but his "voice" is still in my head every single time I write anything. Teachers. Oy.

Jana, Well, whatever you do, DON'T watch Melancholia. What a depressing, yet enthralling, movie. I don't know what my favorite Sci-Fi is. Star Trek is always first but after that, I don't know. I do so love The Last Mimzy but it ends with the kids floating up to a sky filled with a chemtrail. Not good.

Becky, I'm sure you realize that it's Mrs. D. and not me who has new kitties. That's an awful lot of kitties for one family. I don't think I could handle the vet bill let alone keeping them all straight. I would love another pet but it's not going to happen.

About a month ago, I went a different direction to go to the grocery store. I saw a yellow billboard with just the word "LOVE" on it. There was no obvious message other than that. It totally made my day. I now have the word and symbol up on my computer and walls. I smile every time I see them.
