Well, dear readers, what an emotionally exhausting day yesterday was. I was spent, there was no more to spend so spent was I. I got into bed, put my head on the pillow and did not awaken until nine. Today I am feeling vim and vigor, I am feeling vivacious, I am feeling vibrant, in fact, I am feeling my Vs. So, today’s notes will be the V notes, because it seems to be a V kind of day, does it not?
Luckie was in her yelping and peeing mode yesterday. She cowered under the kitchen table most of the day, and any time I suggested (ever so sweetly) that she come out of there, she would come out as if I’d put a broom handle in her nose and she’d yelp and pee. I didn’t even yell at her – I tried to reason with her but apparently reason frightens her so she yelps and pees some more. Perhaps she’s decided that I am the Golem, whatever the hell that is. Today she seems fine, in fact she walked vigorously this morning, a fine thing to do on a V day. I have been loathe to throw her in the yard when she misbehaves because I don’t want the yard to be “The Bad Place”. Perhaps I’ll fence off a small corner of the path that runs alongside the kitchen, a small concrete affair that leads to the kitchen door. There would be no way for her to destroy anything out there and maybe that would be a fine punishment place for those times when she behaves poorly.
Have I mentioned that yesterday I was spent? Have I mentioned that today I am feeling vital and that my Eileen and Chet Atkins appetite is voracious? Last night I finished watching the DVD of The King of Comedy. What a fine motion picture it is, and I’m sorry, call me crazy, but Mr. Jerry Lewis should have won an Academy Award for his performance. And Mr. Robert de Niro should have as well. And Miss Sandra Bernhard has never been better than in this, her debut film. As Mr. Scorsese says in the short documentary, they wouldn’t have a clue how to make a film like this today – it would be a big overblown thriller or something. Anyway, if you haven’t seen it I recommend it wholeheartedly.
Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below, because today is a V day and we must have variety and the only way to have variety is to move on to the next section immediately.
I’m in a very Christmas mood today. It is crisp but sunny or, to put it another way, it is sunny and crisp. I have not sent out one single Christmas card yet and I must address that situation today. I must also address the envelopes or they will never be delivered.
Today I shall write until the cows come home. Isn’t that exciting? Isn’t that just too too? Oh, I have totally forgotten to mention the most important person on any V day. Yes, Virginia, you are the most important person on any V day and yet I have only just this minute mentioned your name. I should be vilified with vehemence and a vengeance. But then I’d just act like a victim and probably take a Valium to calm down. Oh, have I mentioned that I got a Christmas card from Vinnie?
This certainly is a V day – I have not seen so many V words since the days of Queen Victoria. What the hell am I talking about? Perhaps we need a Randy Vicar story – The Randy Vicar and the Vestal Virgin.
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must not live in a vacuum (no mean feat), I must have variety as well as the hollywood reporter, I must write a great volley of words, I must avoid high places so that I do not suffer from Mr. Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo, I must not appear vapid or vacuous, I must have pith and vinegar, I must not veer from my course, I must reach new vistas of vicissitudes, whatever the hell they are. Today’s topic of discussion: It’s Ask BK Day, the day you get to ask whatever excellent questions you like and I will answer them without being vague. You can ask work-related questions, writing-related questions or personal-related questions. That way, all our questions will be related, don’t you see?

Ask away, my pretties, and let’s have so many posts today that this here site will be validated as the most popular site on all the Internet. Yes, we shall be victorious and if not, damn them, damn them all to hell.
