The kitty litter line (new this Christmas!) makes me want to be there. Taht is, "to follow Janice around", as a piece of fuzz on her jacket. This sounds like a life worth living. With an eeentsy-beentsy vid cam (or just a brain), to record the events, encounters, and expressions. I don't know why this human part of life is all so fascinating, but it is. The little stuff; the unexpected and insightful; not the grandiose and deliberate. (Altho those may possess greater merit and conviction). Humans, unfettered by crap, are really funny. And the spontaneous small event seems sometimes the pinnacle of life. The most "conscious" thing; the most rewarding. Until people like myself come along and drone on about it. I just wonder why they feel so fresh and beautiful.

Funny, isn't it, how tehre's almost always some sexual connotation to mistakes one makes in foreign languages? Many years ago I was lunching with a friend in a restaurant in Lugano. She couldn't decide what to have, and I--I'd been there before--suggested the sausage. She objected that she didn't especially like sausage. In confident and clarion tones, I announced that these Swiss sausages were better than their Italian equivalents, because they were made "senza preservativi". Unfortunately, in Italian "preservativi" does not mean "preservatives". It means "condoms". Everyone in the restaurant howled with laughter.
