I Expect The Authorities At Any Moment

One of my favorite comic strips is Pearls Before Swine. It features a fluffy cat who sells to terrorists. If I knew the author, I would suspect he based the character on George because I was pretty sure she's on the computer in the middle of the night and when I'm at work selling secret plans to some sort of rebel groups.

However, I now think she's actually hacking into financial institutions and embezzling because she's a dirty little thief.

Her latest obsession is with plastic sandwich bags. She wants to eat them, in fact. I carry one in my purse to keep loose change in it and she gets in to my purse, takes the bag out and chews on it.

I had enough the other night of that so I put the bag back in to my purse, zipped it completely shut and verbally reprimanded her. I know...verbal reprimands mean nothing to her but it made me feel better.

The next morning, I got up to find the bag on the floor with six large holes in it and my purse completely unzipped.

I just hope she's putting the embezzled funds somewhere that I can access them at some point. I could always use some more vacation money.

TV At Its Finest

I was talking to someone today who didn’t know who Bob Newhart was. I cut him some slack because he’s a youngster and didn’t grow up in the U.S. I told him about The Bob Newhart show and how it became a college drinking game and about Newhart, "Hi, I'm Larry; this is my brother Darryl, and this is my other brother Darryl." He was going to go to Wikipedia and do some research. The conversation got me thinking. Back in the day (like when dinosaurs were alive and I was young and there were only four channels on TV), we caught a lot of reruns of what are now considered classic TV. Especially, if you were a latchkey kid like I was, there wasn’t a lot going on in the afternoon/early evening so it was either soap operas or reruns unless you were allowed to be outside and play. And, of course, during summer vacation you had even more time to watch the boob tube. Here’s what I remember watching during those years: Gilligan’s Island, Big Valley (I’m still looking for my very own N...

February 2020

Most of 2020 sucked. But, there were some good moments that made memories to cling to. I'm going to review some of those moments from each month. (Disclaimer - my memory isn't what it used to be so this is my story and I'm sticking to it regardless of reality.) I moved into my house in May of 2019 and it was already hot out so I used the Arizona summer as an excuse not to do anything to my patio or yard. I don't recall what excuse I used to justify ignoring the both in the fall and winter. Let's go with complete laziness. It's entirely plausible. However, I had to get on the stick and pretty it up because I had a bunch of company scheduled for the spring. The first thing I did was get some inexpensive chairs from Target for my beat up table. I honestly thought I could jam them into my car. I really, really did. One would never guess I was a Tetris master. After several futile attempts, this is how it ultimately went down. Adam (answering cell): Hi, Kathy! Me: Hi...
