Much ado about much a doo-doo


THE MISERABLE OFFENDER

<



Cats are wonderful in their own way.

Ada, for instance, loves to nuzzle me, and give me playful little bites when she wants my attention. That’s usually when I am trying to sleep.

And if I stretch out for a nap on the sofa, Adelaide will invariably jump up onto my tummy, and go nose to nose with me until I pay attention.

Today I was not thinking wonderful thoughts about Adelaide. For the second time in a week she has pooped on the inside door mat in the Lanai. But today, shoe and sockless I stepped right into her deposit.

I did not chastise her (she does not speak English) but my language was raw as I cleaned up the mess on the mat and on my foot.


I am at least grateful that she is not an elephant!

    Some cats don't always like sharing litter boxes. Try putting a second litter box out in the lanai, and see if she'll use it out there.

    I've never stepped in poop (not kitty poop anyway), but have woken up and walked into the kitchen squelching many a cold wet hairball in the dark. Yuk!!!

"Povey Prattle" is taking a rest. (Goodbye Micky)

 Povey Prattle is taking a rset. I am doing this because when I transfer  Povey Prattle stuff to Facebook (which is how most of you see it) a photo' of the poet  MickyScottBeyJones often attaches itself to my posting. I've not been able to find a way to delete the story I wrote about Micky very many years ago.  It's one of life's minor annoyances. So I will no longer post on Povey Prattle.  If you are one of the five or six readers or followers of that blog you'll be able to read my nonsense and good sense  on a new blog "More Prattle from Povey" If you follow me on Facebook there is nothing you need to do.  The only difference is that you'll no longer see the confusing photo' of Micky Scott Bey Jones. But do look her up via a web search.  She is a terrific poet.

The background, the couple, my friends, the wedding ceremony, the Shaykh, the Priest,

The background   I have known the Keller/Bonsey family since 2000 when I became the Rector at St. James's, Cambridge, MA. They (Elisabeth Keller and the Revd. Steven Bonsey with their four children Noah, Sam, Josiah and Annie) had come back to Cambridge from Hawaii where Steve had been the Rector of an Episcopal parish. Steve had just been appointed as a Chaplain at Tufts University (no Sunday morning duties) so the entire family was able to enrich our common life at St. James's - which they did with great love and joy. I count them as friends and have stayed in touch with them since my retirement.  Noah, the oldest son is eloquent in Arabic (he spent a year in Damascus when Syria was a safe place).  He has developed a super career as an analyst of social media in the near East.    Noah worked in Tampa for a while a few years ago, so he and I were a...

It began in Bristol U.K. "A man dies" and "Jesus Christ Superstar"

I well remember the swirling controversy in Bristol, U.K. when a (Presbyterian) Minister the Revd, Earnest Marviin created a ":Rock Opera", called "A Man Dies"  in and for his congregation in the Lockleaze area of Bristol, U.K. Earnest Mrvin I was a sixteen years old member of the Plymouth Brethren Church back in those days, so I most likely disapproved of "A Man Dies" .  We, (the Plymouth Brethren),  disapproved of everything! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I had forgotten all about "A Man Dies" until earlier today when saw these pictures on the "Bristol, Then and Now"  Facebook page.   St. James Presbyterian Church, Lockleaze, Bristol  The Bristol Then and Now page includes the following commentary: Lockleaze, Bristol  -  'Jesus Christ Superstar' began at St.James (Presbyterian) Chur...
