Pats and cats
I got home after being out for a while, and what did I find but a full Scottish celebration in progress. Today is the birthday of Robert Burns!
All the kits were dressed in their kilts and sporrans, Bob and Sydney were piping away (I could hear them halfway down the block), and Miss Sparkler was dancing her little toesies off.
They assure me this is good practice for the Super Bowl, too!
I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
-- Terry Pratchett (1948—2015), Sourcery

Oh Pat, thank you so very much for the reminder! I majored in English Literature and Bobbie Burns is one of my favorite poets. It also explains a phone call I got from Groucho earlier while he was at Cat Court. Apparently, Groucho and a few of the other PT revelers jumped on AMTRACK and are headed your way. Be warned though, he's bringing his fiddle and mumbled something about a new tartan hat. This morning he was rather insistent about getting to the Haggis In A Hurry Shoppe as they opened for business. That takes care of dinner tonight - Haggis Helper!

Let's hope he doesn't take up the pipes any time soon!!

"That's the power of kittens (and puppies too, of course): They can reduce us to quivering masses of Jell-O in about two seconds flat and make us like it. Good thing they don't have opposable thumbs or they'd surely have taken over the world by now." -- Paul Lukas
"We consume our tomorrows fretting about our yesterdays." -- Persius, first century Roman poet

And who will be leading the recitation of the favorite Burns' poetry? I have visited Glasgow, and even had one forkful of haggis, as my former boss' wife said I must, or no one would believe I'd been to Scotland!
