What’s up with those holes in my shirt? Holes in Joan’s tee shirt–just above the bottom hem. You might know immediately what we’re talking about, or might know someone this minor problem has afflicted. Maybe you haven’t a clue what we’re referring to if you are clueless, or, as the case may be, without holes read on to be edified! Joan never gave the matter much thought or mentioned it as a matter of interest to anyone. This sweet little cat was not the culprit! Further, we found it strange that we had n...

Ben Millam's Blog. My relationship with cats has saved me from a deadly, pervasive ignorance. William S. Burroughs. Monkey the Cat Hunts for Dinner. July 5, 2015. So instead of feeding my cat, I hide these balls around the house. So what if my cat, while out on patrol, actually found its prey? Surely this would bring him one step closer towards a more fulfilled and self-actualized indoor kitty existence. Food = food…. Want to Give it a Try? Train First, Build Later. Cat looks at ball – *click* (rep...

To a young child, especially one as curious as Joan, stories of distant places and olden times bore a special fascination. Especially vivid in her active imagination was Norway. Frozen in stone forever although Joan’s family called her the Leka Lady! And farmers and fishermen, to be captured eventually in writing and passed down again in the great poetic sagas, in books and magazines and, yes, even in blogs like t...

The Inadvertent Symbolism of Aprons. An apron-wearing Joan, almost 12, learning the domestic ropes! In our last blog post we talked about the mysterious holes problem you remember, right? We ruminated about those tiny holes that mysteriously appear on the bottom front of blouses and tee shirts. Maybe it is just one hole, or two holes, maybe a mysterious pattern of multiple small holes like the crop circles of the apparel world. Where do they come from? Let’s take each of these in turn. High heels? Let’s ...

Constant and Faithful Companion | Sixty-Sixty
https://sixtysixtyblog.wordpress.com/2014/11/30/constant-and-faithful-companion
Constant and Faithful Companion. Twenty-six years ago this month a sixteen-year-old gray tabby cat named Sasha lay down on our bedspread and, content with the companionship of her lifelong friend and confidante Joan, closed her eyes and purred, consented to death, and left us behind. Sasha was petite, a diminutive cat just as her name implied. She was mild and loving, with an even personality; neither of us remembers ever being bitten or scratched. She loved to have Joan hold her and talk to her&...Fan) ...
