stranger in the night

Shamus on view

Me-usings and Me-emories

19 October 2020 - We all like to believe that we have our mysterious side.  Who wants to think that casual acquaintances know our thoughts and can predict our next move?  Being a closed book certainly is an advantage to those of us whose job is to observe without drawing attention.  Our ability to silently enter and exit the scene is the stuff of poetry, and on a par with certain nocturnal beeps that fly without disturbing the air.  And then there is our aloof nature, cultivated by any discerning feline, which adds to the overall impression of secrecy.  And in fact there may not be any secrets behind our poker pusses, but it is the possibility after all that keeps the opposition off-kilter and guessing.

The savvy shamus doesn't
sport squeaky sneakers.
(Try saying that five times.)











Bring back Bastet

word of the day - purrplexing, enigmatic (deliberately purrhaps)
