Cat Scratch Fever



Some time back I posted a picture here of the cutest kitten in Calaveras County. Her name's Phoebe and she's still really cute. We got her at the feed store in San Andreas. She was free.

Today I paid the real price. I wanted a nice picture of the reclining kitty. She was not pleased about being woken up. Nobody really is, particularly from a nap...particularly a cat.

After a shot or two she expressed her dislike of this process by attacking my arm. I look like a suicide.

You can see in the second picture here she's about to go off. She did. I have the marks to prove it.
Kitty love in the afternoon. YOWRRRRRRRRRRLLLL!

The day itself was a very very long one, and the kitty ambush was only the first of many things I found rather thrust upon me as I returned home. I needed a nap of my own.

I had one. It was good. I felt better.

The rest of my day was magnificent. I don't know if I would have attacked were I awoken, but I surely would have growled. I think I did before I went to sleep.

Sleep now, purr later. Eat. Prowl.

Repeat.

The stuff of life.

Izzy Pop




Izzy decide he'd like to compose and sing a song for and about each of us in the family.

He told us he needed a title and a first line, a guitar, a bit of space, and then he'd do the rest.

And so he did.

Izzy composed a bit of a concept performance:

Mom's song was "Potatoes of the Earth". Ellie's song was "Flowers of the Earth". Izzy's song was "Ball on the Park" and Aliana's song was "Page on the Farm"...

He finished with his song for his dad:

"Coffee of the Earth"
-Hot Coffee
Coffee with Milk
Coffee in a Cup
Coffee of New York
Coffee of San Francisco
Coffee of Virginia
Coffee of Santa Cruz
Coffee of Watsonville
Coffee of Angels Camp
Coffee of Starbucks
That is the Best
Dad makes it
Coffee of the Earth.-

Izzy sang, Ellie danced.
I really wish I had dig vid so you could all hear the burn. Or smell the coffee.

As it was I did have a camera (duh) so you get stills...

Live performances are nightly here at home, and most days at Starbucks Angels Camp.
