My friend Suzi.

I passed an usually high number of cats out during my morning walk today. All were in the normal state of cat stand-offishness. One of them was off leash with a lady and her dog(on leash). Which reminds me of the few months I spent in Texas with my friend Suzi. She had 7 cats. 6 were part of the house group and 1, Stanley, was his own man so to speak. Stanley would disappear for days at a time then out of nowhere he'd show up for dinner. I frequently sat at a picnic table outdoors in the morning just picking the guitar. More often than not good old Stanley would show up with his nose poking under my picking arm. Always marching to is own drummer. Bless you Stanley wherever you are. All the cats were tragically lost in a house fire while Suzi was later living in New Orleans.
Suzi and her beloved cats are together in Heaven which proves that we're all this flight together.
