28 July 2013 - I am simply a wreck.  The peeps tried to be stealthy about it, but I have seen the suitcase out and open.  What are they up to?  "No good," is the proverbial reply.  The stress of not knowing is shaving a year off my life.

27 July 2013 - Luck is a random distribution, which means that some have more good fortune than others...the luck of the draw.  I am one of those with an above-average share, so you with less can accuse me of living in the lap of luxury.  I will not deny it...besides, my clever peep has the evidence (and the negative).

25 July 2013 - Being alone is very different from being isolated.  The former is a state that can be difficult to achieve in a noisy/nosy world, but has enormous benefits to one's health and well-being.  We should all strive periodically to find our still point, to listen to the beating of our heart.  Spandex attire is not needed, nor is special equipment.  There is no weigh-in and no age restrictions and no n-step program...all of which makes it unmarketable.  But what has hype done for you lately?

24 July 2013 - Time waits for no man, but I can turn my back on it.  Bierce defines a day as a period of twenty-four hours, mostly misspent.  But don't they lock you up for spending something that is not yours in the first place?  I choose to ignore its petty tick-tock.  If my attempt to kill time is indeed the cause of its death, then haven't you all been fooled by its sound and fury.

23 July 2013 - I am a technocat.  Movers and shakers must keep pace with the times, and this is the twenty-first century after all.  WiFi, URLs, TCP/IP, CAT 6 are enough to give a luddite a headache.  But as the JPEG to the right illusttrates, I am at home among the wires, a turbo stick above me, a router as my pillow, a Mac mini warming my bed.

22 July 2013 - I realize that my image is of one on his way to the top, and I don't dispute that that is my calling.  But the journey doesn't preclude the occasional pause to enjoy one's surroundings, to reflect on life's largesse.  Of course, anyone who has the promise of nine lives can waste a few minutes here and there.

21 July 2013 - Have I told you about the time I scaled Gros Morne?  No?  Well, another time perhaps.  I am a well traveled cat, having been in thirteen United states and several Canadian provinces.  Quite honestly I am a home body, preferring to spend my days in contemplation of the big questions.  But there are a few destinations on my bucket list, my maybe-someday compilation...such as mysterious Katmandu.  I love the very sound of it.

20 July 2013 -  When I was a small kit, I ran away from the circus.  After several stressful weeks of trying to make a go of it alone, I happened upon my peeps and at a time when their lives were without a center.  Like a three-legged stool, they are now much more balanced and functional.  I could have, as in the parable, passed by on the other side, but I saw a need and felt compassion.

19 July 2013 - Here I am picnicking in the countryside...well, not really, as it did not involve a basket of food or a spread tablecloth.  The truth is that I am watching other things, mostly beeps, picnic on the sunflower seeds that have fallen to the ground.  Observing nature, surrounded by green, doesn't that distinguish me as an eco-cat?

18 July 2013 - The breakfast of champions for me is yogurt, an exact ratio of plain to vanilla.  One of my peeps doesn't start his day well nourished, but what can I say:  he is untrainable.  Unlike the young generation who comes to the table with backward hats and ear buds, I take my place well-groomed and well-mannered.  I am trying to teach by example.

17 July 2013 - Whatever I'm sitting on, its roundness marks it as artificial.  Perhaps like the Nazca Lines, this lidded cylinder pushed into the earth is prehistoric...or a cultural artifact from an alien race.  Just sitting on its dome inspires my imagination.  Meanwhile, in a very calculated move, my stomach has requested pie for dinner.  Pardon me while I go in search of four and twenty blackbirds....

16 July 2013 - Breathe in that great outdoors!  Sharp sunlight is indicative of low humidity, which if one could bottle would be a great seller back in muggy Florida this time of year.  I am finally able to stop sleeping on my feet, and can stretch out with abandon.  I am not unappreciative.

15 July 2013 - The kitchen - the social heart of the household - is one of my favorite places to hang out.  From my perch I can supervise the cooking, enjoy the residual heat, and unobtrusively observe my peeps.  So far they have not utilized the two mice that if kindly offered.
