Well, mama had her Zoom reunion the other evening with, get this, five anthros, all guys, and all having chosen very, very creative paths. One, Bill Mares, has written several books on beer-making, bee-raising, Trump, you name it. Another, Kip Kumler, went from the corporate world into wine making after having been a captain of a gun boat in Viet Nam. Ian Mc Mahan is a psychologist and wrote a book called Adolescence, and Roger Lewis writes a column for The Washington Post on Architecture, among many other endeavors such as political cartoons.
Mama was tickled to see these classmates after…er…several eons.
And if there is one thing mama gives thanks for in her life (aside from papa and me, of course), it is a rigorous early education with very good teachers and these wonderful new-found friends.
And mama says it’s still a bit strange to make contact after such a long time. BUT…there were good laughs and lots of things discussed and another reunion is planned as one of the anthros couldn’t be in on this one.
I wonder if I could get together with MY old feral buddies and hang out a bit. But where would I find them? And do they really want to see me after all this time? I just hope they all found homes the way I did, that’s what I always hope for homeless, often abandoned kitties.
HEY, mama forgot to ask if any of these classmates have KITTIES! How could she forget THAT?
Well, good thing there’s another one coming up — I will certainly have questions for that one!
You can bet your booties.
We hope you zoom-bombed that call. 🙂
Did I ever. And the next one will feature KITTIES FROM HIGH SCHOOL.
Ooooh – one of Mama’s friends just wrote a book TOO – Morris Ardoin, who now lives in NYC and is like her little brother – Stone Motel, Memoirs of a Cajun Boy. Morris is funny and wise and such a good person. ADORABLE. Our peeps know some interesting people, non!? Well, Mama’s cousin reminded her today is the 4th of July No BBQ or Crab Boil so I’m not interested. We should demand special treats, huh, Loulou!!!!???
Well, we’re thinkin’ beefburgers around here. Er…I’M thinking’ burgers. Mama never ate hamburgers until lockdown and papa is still a carnivore so she got some frozen lean burgers and tried them out for him. Unfortunately, she took a bite, haha….still, cow meat happens about once every two weeks in this joint, as fish and chicken rule. Actually pasta and risotto and omelets rule more.
Reunions would be more fun if there was food involved!
Yes, Zoom appears to have left out a BIG part of anthros gathering….
How could she forget that- having kitties is all that matters 🙂
I know, I know, mama was VERY remiss by not asking about kitties FIRST.
Our fiftieth class reunion held many happy surprises !
Did you say something yesterday about having a vet appointment for a check up and feeling a bit lethargic ? (The heat over here is making everyone lethargic) We are sending purrayers that all is ok !
I am fine except…chubbyville…mama is writing to ask you a couple of questions. My (remaining) teeth have a bit of inflammation and the doc prescribed Zodon. But mama doesn’t like the poop sheet on it and I HATE the taste.
