Los Perros

Our Keiki loves the new overhead pulley tie out. Luna wonders when the sun will be back.

Good Job Me!

April 6, 2018

I have lost another elder. The parent of a dear friend (chosen family) passed quite suddenly when she should have recovered from a simple procedure. I want to share an anecdote.

We were all hanging out-- having drinks, one friend* said something borderline racist and this beautiful white woman whom I respected so much--gracefully shut down his thoughtless remark by saying, and I quote, "Alex doesn't like it when you say things like that."

You see, not only the drunken and immature speaker, but everyone in the room, happened to be white. The glossy ebony Tom cat, who was named Alex, was perpetually indignant-- timed his disdainful response, the half closed eyes and quick short mew--perfectly with her casually dropped burn.  I can only hope to be as cool as B.



*As long as we are keeping track the footnoted friend is also dead. Easily 75% of my friends are dead. If I love you, You are cursed.
