When Kitty gets me up early, her intentions are rather
transparent...
It's a two step process -- first food, and then it's back to Snoozeland for a few more zzzz's...

Kitty is still a bit fuzzy on the concept of a paycheck, but this big
building
is filled with cat owners, all working hard to provide kibble, corn, and canned cat food
for their respective cats...

That's Kitty (at top-left) of course, but I met
the other two cats on my Saturday morning
walk through San Francisco's Chinatown... I've run across the handsome cat (at top-right) before --
it lives inside a restaurant and loves to catch the morning sun in the window... The black-and-white cat (bottom)
was just hanging out on the sidewalk -- I doubt if it has a home (or a big goofy guy like me to love), but it looked
well fed...

(lyrics by Linde)
Lord almighty,
I feel my temperature rising
Higher higher
Its burning through to my soul
Girl, girl, girl
You gonna set me on fire
My brain is flaming
I dont know which way to go
Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
I feel my temperature rising
Help me, Im flaming
I must be a hundred and nine
Burning, burning, burning
And nothing can cool me
I just might turn into smoke
But I feel fine
Cause your kisses lift me higher
Like a sweet song of a choir
And you light my morning sky
With burning love
Its coming closer
The flames are reaching my body
Please wont you help me
I feel like Im slipping away
Its hard to breath
And my chest is a-heaving
Lord almighty,
Im burning a hole where I lay
Cause your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love
With burning love
Ah, ah, burning love
Im just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love...

The Frank Lloyd Wright designed Marin Civic Center has a beautiful and dramatic
golden
spire, however I'm not quite sure of it's significance or what it it supposed to represent.
So to take advantage of my ignorance, I'm going to tell Kitty it's a golden monument to the cats
of our County...
And we have a lot of them...
Almost everybody living here is either a cat or a kitty...

Should I ever do anything to skew Kitty's love, and should she ever decide to leave me,
I suppose she might go join the penguins at the zoo...
My hope is that she won't like the water aspects of life as a penguin...
Warm and dry couches and laps are more Kitty's style...

Deer are beautiful and peaceful creatures, much like Kitty...
But deer don't have access to refrigerators stocked with corn and tins of cat food,
nor sizeable sacks of kibble... No, Kitty, you'd better stick close to home and make sure your
owner (you know, that old goofy guy) gets plenty of love...

Yes folks, this is the entrance to
Roy's Redwoods...
It's part of our open-space lands here in Marin County, and when I'm not feeling too lazy I like to
hike to the top of the hill -- it's a great aerobic workout... I've always thought that Kitty would
apreciate the area too, but I doubt if she would do well on the end of a leash, so I'll just have to continue
telling her stories about the adventure when I get back home...

And while each new
sunrise
brings a new day, some things remain constant...
For Kitty -- there will be food to be begged for, laps to be sat on, poops to be pooped, perimiters to

Yes, it's the same old Kitty, day after day...

We have no shortage of deer
here at Kittyland, but at nearby Roy's Redwoods they have more room to roam... Maybe I should put

Answering the call to all of Kitty's whims is usually a pretty easy job... When she requires a soft lap
all I have to do is sit down, and when she needs reassurance all it takes is a few strokes and a few
soft words... And although she knows better than to ask for sun on a cloudy day, she has no hesitation
asking that her sun be slightly filtered...

I think Kitty just might go for bugs on lilly pads... But I think she is going to want some kibble and
maybe a nice piece of freshly thawed corn-on-the-cob for a little variety...
But when it's all said and done -- bugs or kibble-and-bits -- it's all pretty much the same thing --
lunch...

It's pretty easy to sneak Kitty into the movies, but there is no way I would have been able to sneak her
in at the U.C. Berkeley Botanical Gardens...
I don't think she would have gotten along too well with the prickly cactus, but I did find her a
soft bed of orange and purple-violet flowers
where I'm sure she could have enjoyed a colorful day...

Kitty is familiar with words like "kibble" and "corn" and "outside" and "what a good Kitty" --

Kitty never likes to be left out of the fun...

When I look at Kitty and then look at a horse,
there seems to be a vague resemblance between the two
species... Kitty's ears are quite similar, but her head is more of a pumpkin shape...
The horse has a big schnozz, and Kitty has a little schnooze...
The horse's eyes are beautiful black and beautiful black, and Kitty's eyes are
beautiful tan and beautiful earth...

And even though I don't think they will be firing-off fireworks or having an ice-cream eating contest, today
is
Earth Day, and Kitty and I wish you a happy one...
I keep saying that I wish I could take Kitty with me on all my little outings, but the danger of losing
her is too great... But I'm sure she would have enjoyed getting her paws wet in the damp sand of a fine
beach I found on Sunday... Don't know what she would have made of the dog I ran across while on that
beach, however... The critter was running free having an exceptionally good time investigating all the
smells and generally having a good time all by itself -- no owner in sight...
Only birds, clams, and a crusty photographer... Ah, bliss...
Thank you Mother Earth...

Waking up with an "old-fart" like Don in his smelly underwear may not be as

And even though it was much to early yesterday over at San Francisco's
Conservatory of Flowers
for them to be open for visitors, I spooked around the exterior for a while and soaked up the atmosphere so I
would have something to tell Kitty about when I got home... Seems like they're always looking for
knowledgeable docents over there -- and I really didn't have Kitty's permission to do this -- but I slipped her
resume under the door and I'm hoping that the higher-ups will realize Kitty's potential...
The way I see it,
every garden needs a cat...

Of course, Kitty never really gets to go anywhere with me -- someone has to stay home and hold-down the couch --
but if she HAD been with me yesterday afternoon she would have met this interesting pair of
artists on a serene trail
at delightful place nearby named China Camp... Oh, we had a great time discussing everything from
George Bush to art supply stores, and about the only thing we didn't talk about was our cats...

Even though Kitty had to stay home and dream about wildflowers all by herself -- when I got home
from Chimney Rock at Point Reyes yesterday the first thing I did was tell her about the fantastic
display the Douglas Iris is putting on right now...
But her eyes started to glaze over when I began reading her a long, long list of other wildflowers in bloom
out there right now -- yarrow, sun-cups, three varieties of indian paintbrush,
field chickweed, coastal-prairie larkspur, coastal wallflower, chocolate lily, cow parsnips, goldfields, lovage,
yellow bush lupine, coastal-prairie lupine, man-root, cream cups, california buttercup,
checkerbloom, blue-eyed grass, hedge nettle, cow clover, owl's clover, and narrow-leaf mule's ears...

I'm pretty sure that a ride on a San Francisco

Nobody is happier than me that Kitty hasn't murdered a

But she has a violent and lengthy
criminal record... She used to be fast enough to catch them, but she seems to be slowing down with age --
and believe me, Kitty, I know the feeling...
And it would have been fun to take her to the beach with me
yesterday, but I thought that, as usual, she had an appointment in Dreamland...

Each Spring, on-or-around March 15, Mission San Juan Capistrano welcomes home their famous and faithful
flock of swallows,
who spend Fall and Winter in-and-around the delightful city of Goya, Argentina...
And every year about this time every fourth-grader in the State of California is bound by some kind of
state education mandate to study the colorful and historic Missions of California -- doing reports and constructing
a model of the mission of their choosing -- we have a total of 21 missions here in California...
And of course, as you know, Kitty is in the fourth grade this year, and her styrofoam and carbroard
mission model is nearing completion -- a thing of beauty and creativity...
I'm afraid however, she has bogged down on her mission report to the point of hopelessness...
I've been helping her as much as her teacher will allow, but I'm probably
just confusing the issue by bringing home oddities such as blue geese on the ends of fruit boxes -- supposedly from
Capistrano... As any fourth grader worth his or her salt can tell you, a
blue goose is a bunch of advertising non-sense...

Being the consummate nature lover
that she is, Kitty probably knows both the botanical and common name for this beautiful flower (I found it inside
Marin County Civic Center), but so far I haven't been able to coax any information out of her... Looks
like it's in the Calla Lilly family, but it sure is an oddball -- just like our little family here at Kittyland...

Yesterday I was spooking around the Marin County Civic Center and spotted these two
birds in the patio area
out by the fountain and pool, and beneath the towering golden spire that was designed by the master of architecture
himself -- Frank Lloyd Wright... And although I don't know who fabricated these ostriches, the artist
gave them a job -- full time employment, so to speak -- of beautifying and giving the area some character...
Not that the Marin County Civic Center doesn't have enough character and beauty on it's own, but these birds
definitely add something...

I'm not exactly sure which is whispier,
whispy clouds or whispy Kitty...
Kitty likes to get me up early so she can get a little bit of food and head back to bed...
She uses a variety of tecniques for rousing-me-from-the-dead... And the method I most enjoy
is a soft wet kiss on my nose -- while my least favorite method is a bite on the elbow...
This morning she gave me a whispy fop on the head with her tail, and I'm pretty sure it was no
accident... Oh cats, you never know what they're going to come up with next...

Yesterday afternoon, after all was said and done, I got a brilliant idea... Why not take a short cruise to the
top of the hill, Mount Tamalpais, and soak up the sunset...
And although the sunset proved to be slightly lack-luster, I did find this
lupine wildflower standing tall,
enjoying the afternoon, as I certainly was, too...
side note: When I get to heaven [ ? ? ? ] I'm pretty sure "the big guy" is going to admonish me
for a lifetime of the "over-and-misuse-of-commas", "three-dots-after-every-sentence", "creative-spelling" and various other grammar violations committed during my lifetime...
...but getting back to the story: You see, here's the problem -- all this time I've been thinking
that Kitty was the most beautiful thing on this earth -- but now I've fallen in love with lupine wildflowers...
I'm not sure how I'm going to keep this new-found love a secret from Kitty... I hope she will eventually
understand...

Kitty's pretty smart, so I'm not exactly sure if she fell for the idea, but
yesterday I soaped-up our front window and proclaimed it
modern art...

Of course, Kitty never gets to go anywhere, but the next time I go to the isolated little coastal town of
Bolinas I think I'll take her along so she can help out on the
price of gas...

I guess I should check my reading-glasses -- and I'm hoping that's the problem... If it's not, I may have
to send Kitty in for some minor
adjustments...

Kitty is around all the time -- so much in fact, that I'm afraid she has now become permanently
round...

It was so long ago that I took these two photos that I can't exactly remember if Kitty was just yawning, or
going ape...

Kitty can radiate and she can just as easily absorb...
It's kind of a
give and take situation...

I'm the big guy on the right, and of course that's Kitty on the left -- she's my
trainer and keeper...

And while there is nothing worse than Monday mornings, it's just a normal day for Kitty...
There will be humans to claw; corn, kibble, and canned cat food to munch; and enough naps to last a month of
Sundays...
Yes, Kitty really knows where it's
at...

Happy Easter, 2008

|
This morning Kitty's eyes are big as
eggs, so I guess it must be Easter...

Kitty is still as saucy as a Spring-chicken, but she is getting up there in age and
slowing down a bit... For years she would bring me presents of unfortunate mice and
birds that she would catch, bring inside, and proceed to rip apart on the
bathroom floor... These days Kitty gets all her food catered and served -- not quite
the same for this bobcat...

We have a dandy crop of weeds around here at Kittyland this year...
And as the plot thickens, Kitty is spending a lot of time at the
movies...

Over the years Kitty has gradually become less of a cat, and more of a regular
little person...
I probably should warn her that being one of our species isn't all it's cracked up
to be...

Although we usually avoid membership in any organization,
Kitty and I are both card-carrying hermits... And while regular society grinds and clashes, Kitty and I
like to sharpen our skills at being all alone...

I've always been a card-carrying batchelor and a dedicated hermit, so
before Kitty entered my life (sounds religious doesn't it) this place I live was just a place -- not something
that I could really call a home... But then Kitty came along and changed everything...
She is my
beacon...
I no longer have any trouble finding my way home...

I'm all in favor of Kitty getting a job, but I should warn her that being a
fisherman
isn't always a 9 to 5 job with two 15 minute breaks and a two martini lunch hour...

Kitty is my able and loyal assitant here in the IT department of Kittyland, but when the
work (?) is all done, and if the sun is warm, it's time for a little
snooze...

I am going to guess that Kitty would rather stay home and dream about it, but if she were
a dog I'm sure we would be spending this weekend having a good romp on our beloved
Mount Tamalpais...

Yes folks, that's Kitty, and on the left is her
fiddle...
Her favorite tune? -- Oh, Get Me Some Food...

This morning I didn't have any new photos of Kitty, so I went looking through the files for something interesting...
I found this old shot of her wearing her colorful
eyeglasses...
But then I couldn't think of anything half-witty or cute to write about her...
And now it's four hours later and I still can't think of anything to write, so folks, I'm afraid I'm going
to have to just leave it at this...

Yes Kitty, that

In Kitty's world, a
sunrise,
is just as good as a sunset... Both make a great excuse to go take a colorful nap...

If Kitty were made of metal she could get
rusty,
and if she were made of wood she could get dry-rot -- or God forbid -- even termites...
But fortunately Kitty is made of that indestructable material called love...

There is the outside world, and then there is Kittyland -- where just a casual glance
is confirmation that our love transcends all...

Kitty is familiar with the vast forests of tall weeds we have around here at Kittyland,
but I'm pretty sure she has never seen a real
forest with weeds quite this tall...

When I got home from my nature hike yesterday I showed Kitty how creatures that live
in-the-wild have to round-up their own lunch...

Some day I'm going to have to take Kitty along with me on one of my
nature walks...
I could show her ferns with multitudes of "ears"...

Kitty got her vacation photos back from the drug-store, and most of them aren't half bad...
But LORD, spare me from a grueling slide-show --
I might have to arrange it so there's just nobody home...

Now, I'm pretty sure they don't make hot-dog
mustard
out of the yellow mustard that grows around here this time of year, but if the Food Channel
ever needs an eyewitness report, Kitty is ready and standing by...

Kitty is rather shy and sometimes likes to stay in the
in the shadows,
but there is no way darkness can obscure our love...

Kitty has been
thinking about it, and with all due respect to
Rodin's The Thinker,
I think she has decided to just stay home and mull it over...
