I stayed away for a week. I'd been reading but not posting. I've been trying half-heartedly for a couple of months now to wean myself. I think it's mostly habit. I was doing really well and then X said something touching and got me going yesterday. I was all set this morning to let it go again but my new computer was giving me fits so I thought I'd take a break and visit someplace familiar for a moment, which was when I saw your message. So here I am again--typing. I didn't miss it for my week off, but then yesterday I jumped back in with both feet. I don't know. SI is good for me in that I'm quite reclusive and this gives me a lazy way to interact with some nice folk like you. But you're right about the five hours. I'm working on turning off the TV, too. I'd forgotten the lovely sound of silence. Amazing. I'm pleased to hear about the new addition to your family. My best cat ever was a Himalayan mix pound kitty. She was really mellow like your new one. Mellow is a fine quality in a pet. And she had the odd habit of following me around the house like a dog. I'm looking forward to settling down somewhere and having a purr-engine in the house again. I saw the article you posted. I'll bet that's an interesting book. Although I've managed to shut down the computer and the TV now and again, I haven't yet picked up a book. I want to read The Wind Done Gone. Have you been following the story of the legal battle with the Gone With the Wind heirs over that? The Times has been giving it good coverage. The author, Alice Randall, is the daughter of a colleague and friend of mine, who died last year. The two of them had been estranged for years and Alice has had some "interesting" things to say about her mother and race, things that seem totally alien when I reflect on my friend. I always thought that Bettie had the world's healthiest attitude on race relations. It seems that there are many more layers to the story. So I need to get me to a bookstore during one of my computer/TV time outs and see what my friend's offspring has produced. Once I have the computer and TV off and a book in hand, then I'll be restored. I think. A book in hand sitting by the pool sipping an iced tea. That surely should do it. Give your new kitty a pat for me, if you can get a quiet moment with him, that is. Karen
