The fact that she died nine days after Zeus made both losses seem greater.

For crying out loud! She's 90!

I always thought she was beautiful, but have you seen her lately?

Even Anne Dowd now when makeup artists haven't worked overtime to make her look (if you'll pardon the pun) dowdy. I know my beauty standards are wider than most people's, but I think she's truly beautiful.

Here's one I took off a cruise ship about 20 years ago.

This is terrible news. I met Duncan several times in the 2000s and he was unfailingly kind and funny. This dreadful photo (c. 2003) lives on my fridge. IIRC, this was taken at The Ram's Head Tavern in Annapolis, MD.

I bought myself a present. It was cheap enough that I hope it doesn't fall apart in three wearings.

I loathe both of those terms for the same reason. They all imply that women are inherently inferior to men. Iggy gets it.

No cheating. Post your lock screen.

I'd slouch forever if I could get my Zeus back. Hell, I might even cut off my feet.

Mine was silver, but only because in 1987, Hyundai didn't sell a green one. I really wanted a Hyundai in something comparable to the Ford Aegean Green color. The Ford salesman kept pronouncing Aegean as if the A were in Apple and the accented syllable. It drove me crazy.

My beloved Jinx used to sit outside the balcony railing of my 4th floor walk-up apartment. It scared the daylights out of me, but he never fell. This is him trying to get me to hurry up and enter the apartment.

Please give him some smooches from me. I miss my Zeus terribly.

No lies detected, although the percentage might be a bit low.

The Himalayan monal, is the national bird of Nepal. The US doesn't have any birds even approaching this amount of color.

My personal favorite, but probably more because of timing than anything else.

Right there with you. It has since I stumbled across Manet's déjuener sur l'herbe as a child.

Edouard Manet's Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe (Luncheon on the Grass) is a large 1863 oil painting featuring a dense, sun-dappled forest setting. In the foreground, a nude woman sits on a cloth facing the viewer, engaging them with a direct gaze. She is seated between two bearded, fully clothed Victorian men who appear to be in conversation. Discarded clothing and a picnic basket with bread and fruit rest on the ground to her left. In the bright, elevated background, another lightly dressed woman wades in a stream.

A million years ago I was acquainted with Bleu McAuley. I have always adored his quick wit, dry humor, and the music they produce. I'm excited to see he has a new release out.

Oldest cat name we know about is Nedjem, a name that translates to “Sweet One” or simply “Sweetie.”

The earliest known record of a cat with a name dates back more than 3,450 years to ancient Egypt. The cat was called Nedjem, a name that translates to “Sweet One” or simply “Sweetie.”

Nedjem belonged to Puimre, a high-ranking official who served as the Second Priest of Amun and oversaw temple estates and religious ceremonies at Karnak Temple.

The cat’s name appears in Puimre’s decorated tomb at the Theban Necropolis, where Nedjem is shown beneath a chair, a common artistic way of depicting beloved household pets.

The name Nedjem (ndm) means “Sweet One,” “Pleasant One,” or “Delightful One.” It was also used as a personal name in ancient Egypt, suggesting it was an affectionate and familiar term rather than one reserved for animals.

Nedjem offers rare evidence of the close bond ancient Egyptians could share with their pets. Although cats were valued for protecting grain stores from rodents and snakes and were linked to the goddess Bastet, they were also cherished companions

It's comparatively balmy in Baltimore. The coolest room in my house is 94°. I am eating ice.

I've had a crazy craving for salad niçoise the past few days. I put the ingredients into a shopping list and it would cost over $60., and that's without the eggs, since I already have them. I think I'll be making due with something a little more pedestrian.
