MUST you follow me? (long)
Okay, I love Persia. I really do. But today I was restless as I'm getting
ready for my trip to see John, my old/new love, in just a couple of days. I kept going to the computer room to use the phone to see how the art show was going. She'd follow me into that room. I'd chat for a few minutes, answer some email, send some email, then go back to the living room. She'd follow me and jump up on her kitty-cradle. Then I'd go to the bedroom to see what else I needed to pack or unpack (I'm excited *and* nervous about this, obviously!). She'd follow me and loaf in front of the sliding door. Took a bath, washed my hair; she had to come in and let me know that form of bathing is simply unnatural and protest loudly while sitting on the toilet lid. Back to the living room, going to read a bit. She comes back out and jumps on the cradle again. I finally wear myself out and take a nap; she curls up at my feet on the couch. 60 minutes later the phone rings - danged telemarketer (on Memorial Day!) I look at the clock, hmmm, I need to eat something. Head to the kitchen - MEOW? Want a kitty treat? OW-NOW!!! Give her a treat. Heat up some soup. Back to the living room. She's back to the cradle. And so it goes *All Day Long*. You really don't have to follow me every minute, Persia. The apartment is only SO big and I only left once for 10 minutes, when you were meatloafing in the sunshine and couldn't care less. Still, she persists. I love her, but I nearly tripped over her several times today. I suspect it will only get worse as the day for my departure approaches. As my friend Scott McKenzie's cat, Spider, wrote to Persia after I had my reunion with John after 23 years: "Please be careful when navigating territory anywhere near your human charge. She is in a state, known mainly to female humans, variously described as "lovesick," "euphoric" and "dazed." While in this condition she might very well walk right into and/or over you. She might even forget to feed you!" I won't forget to feed her, but I do tend to be walking into/over her. If she wasn't there every time I turned around, this wouldn't happen. Jill |

Doesn't perform anymore, except on very select occasions, but when he does he dedicates that song )San Francisco) to VietNam vets. Says he's met so many over the years and they've given him badges, medals, etc. as keepsakes. When Veteren's Day rolls around he goes to Washington, D.C. and takes a walk from The Wall (VietNam War Memorial) across a bridge and through Arlington National Cemetary. He stops at his best friend John Phillips' (of the Mamas & the Papas) father's grave (Claude Phillips). Then he walks back around to The Wall. He claims his cat Spider is very fat but has no photos of him I periodically send him pics of Persia. Of Spider, he wrote to me in April: "I have told him repeatedly to stop reading my Email, but he continues to read it anyhow. It's almost as if he doesn't listen to me. How unusual for a cat." Scott has a wonderful, facetious sense of humour! Jill |
