JUST ME AND THE CAT

WELL, MY WIFE LEFT FOR FLORIDA THIS MORNING. I WENT TO MY AQUADICS CLASS, TOOK A WALK AND A QUICK NAP. I PICKED UP A ROASTED CHICKEN AT THE SUPERMARKET BECAUSE I COULD GET FOUR MEALS OUT OF IT. SURE. AS I CARVED THIS BEAUTIFUL GOLDEN SKINNED BIRD, I NOTICED THE DEEPER I WENT THE LESS COOKED IT BECAME. SO I PACKED IT UP AND RETURNED IT. EVEN THE CAT SNUBBED HIS NOSE AT THE CHICKEN. THE CLERK TOLD ME I COULD EXCHANGE IT, BUT I TOLD HER I LOST MY TASTE FOR CHICKEN. SO I GOT MY MONEY BACK AND WENT OUT FOR A DELICIOUS SALAD. STEAK ON THE GRILL TOMORROW NIGHT.

 

MY WIFE WILL BE GONE UNTIL WEDNESDAY. EVEN THOUGH I MISS HER, IT'S NICE TO BE ON MY OWN FOR A FEW DAYS. RAIN THE NEXT TWO DAYS, SO I'VE GOT A GOOD BOOK TO READ. THEN I WORK AT THE YMCA ON A FUNDRAISER, TAKE SOME MORE BRIDGE LESSONS, ATTEND A FEW OTHER MEETINGS, AND CLEAN THE APARTMENT. WHEN SHE GETS BACK I CAN RETURN TO BEING LAZY. THE CAT WILL UNDOUBTEDLY SLEEP THROUGH EVERYTHING.

ROBYN,

 

THE CAT CAN PLAY CHECKERS, BUT CARDS ARE OUT. HE HAS TROUBLE SHUFFLING AND HOLDING THE CARDS IN HIS PAWS.

Marty,

 

I sure hope you don't think this gives you license to go "cattin' around"!! Have a wonderful, peaceful time while your wife is away - I'm sure she'll have some additional cleaning for you to do when she gets home - you know how we are!!

 

Good call on the chicken. I'm thinking of all these cliches - "cat's away the mice will play"...."best laid plans of mice and men"....

 

It doesn't sound as though you will be bored while she's away!!

 

Warmly,

Hey, Marty, I saw that line about reading a good book. Are you going to join our blogs book club? You would make a great addition to our discussions.

JEAN,

 

MY READING HABITS ARE GEARED TO MYSTERIES, AKA JAMES PATTERSON. I CONFISCATED MY WIFE'S COPY OF "THE HUSBAND" BY DEAN KOONTZ. IT'S ABOUT A LANDSCAPER WHOSE WIFE IS KIDNAPPED AND HELD FOR $2,000,000 RANSOM. ONE OF THOSE TWISTED PLOTS. AS OF TODAY, I'M 25% DONE.
