I finished Caleb Carr's devastating dual biography of himself and his Siberian Forest cat Masha. I actually had three chapters to go when I posted this morning. Masha was close to twenty years old when she died on April 5. The year seems to be 2021, since he mentions a winter after 2020. I'm guessing his 17 years of life with Masha were 2021. The encounter with the fisher, which I had read last night, happened just before the 2016 positive New York Times Book Review of his 2016 novel Surrender, New York.

After griping about generic names for character - My Mentor, Lady Vet - Carr does acknowledge many of them at the end of the book.

I’ll start it this week.

I'm so hot that I don't even care that I do not care for page seven.

I've been meaning to ask for a confirmation on that rumor.

Crispy. Extra crispy. Do words have no meaning anymore? What i got was the opposite of crispy - no crispy - anti-crispy - then we add completely flavorless to that and I ate about four or five pieces before depositing it in the trash.

That's too bad, BK. A week ago Friday, I went to the local Eagan's and ordered a Bacon Burger, and the bacon was floppy and chewy.

Wasn't that a song on the ODD COUPLE TV series - Floppy and Chewy and Bursting with Love.

Or was that Happy and Peppy and Bursting with Love?

That clip of Cilla makes me sad. Immigration is her issue. Is she blind?

She's amazing, and she gets to sing in a few episodes, which is a real treat.

Hope your Mom is feeling better soon.
