I can tell that Guy the misses his brother Lenny. Guy usually sleeps on the sofa, but last night he stayed in bed, cuddled up beside me. This morning, when I put down his breakfast bowl, he looked over at the place where Lenny‘s bowl should be. Then he looked up at me and gave a very long and plaintive . I got down on the kitchen floor and told him how much I love him.

This morning at the #Episcopal Church of the Epiphany in Atlanta, the Communion Hymn was the #GratefulDead song “Ripple,” sung by two very talented young women on guitar. I remember hearing “Ripple” as #Communion #Hymn before, when I was a member of St. Luke’s Episcopal in Atlanta. A fitting hymn, both musically and lyrically.

“Mommy, why is that man crying?”

“That man is a #Deadhead. You can tell by the sandals. Try not to stare.”

I fell into a delightfully artsy rabbit hole this morning when a friend posted this painting by Jack Butler Yeats, brother of the poet and mystic W. B. Yeats (who famously kicked Aleister Crowley down a flight of stairs once). The name of the painting is “About to Write a Letter” (1935).

My favorite tree. On the trail last Sunday at Sosebee Cove in the North Georgia Mountains. The hiking stick was handmade by my late father.

They were friends in real life. They would hang out and terrorize the villagers together on weekends.

If you’re a film noir fan, you’ll love RIPLEY. The beautiful black-and-white cinematography, the slow-burn suspense, and the understated acting of the stars (especially Dakota Fanning as the suspicious girlfriend) make this an instant noir classic on the same level as Double Indemnity or The Maltese Falcon.

Murdercats take lots of naps throughout the day so they can be energized to terrorize their humans in the middle of the night.

It was only a few years ago that I realized the Rachel Pollack whose stories I loved in F&SF was the same Rachel Pollack who wrote Seventy Eight Degrees of Wisdom and other classic books on the Tarot. Looking forward to this DC Pride dedicated to her. Rest in Peace.

Leonidas decided I needed a cat on my coaster rather than a coffee cup.

Three bears, three crime (all three of us have been published in Shotgun Honey, among other criminal enterprises). Selfie by James Tuck, catching me in conversation with Charles R. Rutledge, talking about the ghost of Walt Whitman (as one does).
