Our favorite cooking program is Alton Brown's "Good Eats" on the Food Channel, and last night Kitty and I sat spellbound as he told of the ancient Aztecs, who's corn was so important to them that they made regular human sacrifices to their God of Corn.   And although I have always suspected that Kitty may have some Aztec blood coursing through her veins, she has assured me that she will not make a human sacrifice out of me, as long as I keep bringing her corn...       Kitty, lapping it up

Kitty's domain doesn't extend too far beyond the property lines, but she uses a kindly old dog named Will, who lives across the street, to let her know, with a soft bark, when she needs to be aware of anything.

I can remember being small.   The world was an overwhelmingly large jungle, and I suppose that Kitty, being built rather close to the ground, must see it that way too...       hiding out in the vines

I used to think I was the only sane person in my family, but that was before I began trying to get a reaction out of Kitty by showing her pictures of herself on the monitor.   She is willing to look, but I have never been able to get a rise out of her, even with  stretched Photoshop ears.

Kitty and I are thoroughly ready for Spring and Summer.   Yesterday we got a preliminary teaser, and Kitty was  right there to soak it up.

Most everything in Kitty's life is structured and carefully designed to jive with the natural order of things, but sometimes she gets things turned around and mixed up.   She insisted, but I tried my best to explain that standard procedure is to get arrested before getting  mug shots.

I should have minded my own business, but I accidently overheard Kitty's phone conversation with someone about some really tasty weed.   I didn't hear the "s" on the end, so of course I thought she was referring to that notorious substance, but no, she meant the common garden varieties of weeds so abundant this time of year.    in the garden, munching a weed

Odds are that nobody remembers actress Norma Desmond, nor the classic 1950's movie named "Sunset Boulevard", but that's the origin of this familiar line:  "I'm ready for my close-up now, Mr. DeMille".

The only drawback to taking Kitty's picture is that she knows much more about photography than me.   I know she is only trying to be helpful, but my camera is completely automatic and takes color pictures, so Kitty, I really don't need a complete discourse on the zone system every time I point-and-shoot.     Here she is, sitting for her portrait.

I don't know where she gets these ideas, but her new style is  extra eyes.

When Kitty asked for her birthday money and borrowed the car keys, it became obvious that she was headed into town to get her head chromed again.   I wanted to stop her, but I remembered how it was for me at that age, so I realized that I just had to let her go.     a chromed dome

As close as I can figure, Kitty is just about exactly ten years old.   We've made March 1 the official date, and we'll be celebrating with a party!!!
We'll be serving corn instead of cake.
