Teresa to me: Where’s Smudge? [the cat]

Me: I think he’s outside.

Teresa looking around: There’s a Smudge under the coffee table.

Me: Perhaps there are two of them. (pause) Smudge has one special power… mitosis. (Pausing to consider the implications of what I just said, then): The other one is furry on the IN-side…

Teresa: I’m leaving now…

Why would you go to an all-you-can-eat buffet and fill your plate with not only your favorite foods but also with all kinds of things you can’t stand?

Your buffet of memories has your most wonderful experiences and your most horrible ones. Why not enjoy the ones you love and leave the rest on the table?

Do you believe your soul is self-righting, if left to its own devices?

Sample inquiry on Amazon Fire Stick:

Alexa – What can I make with spinach?

Me: Popeye very happy.

I wish there were furry fish. I would develop an line of underwater hair care products so you could groom and style them.

Me to Teresa: Looks like the fish need feeding.

Then, continuing in pirate voice: I’ll give you something you’ll not soon forget!

Teresa: They’re fish. They forget.

Then me (continuing in pirate voice): Oh – Then I’ll give you something I’ll not soon forget. And I’ll write a little ditty for you – a minstrel melody – a bard ballad – something to help you remember each and every day, so you’ll not soon forget.

Teresa: I’m not talking to you no more.

Bugs Bunny just turned 80
but he’s still hilarious in his new movie,
“Urine Trouble Now!”

Now that I am 67,
my anthem has become
“Nappin’ in the USA”

“It’s nice we have that to refer to in our metaphoric lexicon.”
