I'm in Facebook chat conversation with my wonderful sister Lynn. We're all handling Mum's departure from our lives in different ways...tho' really there's no point in getting into details.

I was reminded of the time back when we were children, when Lynn's first cat Fluffy died. Lynn was so upset and hurting that she wrote the news opinion commentator of a local TV station--and he responded by reading some of her letter on air and expressing his condolensces to her for everybody.

On a whim I did a websearch for the name of the cat and the name of the TV station together: THIS is what came up.

The Circle of Life is a very real thing. Sometimes the next world is Heaven or Paradise, and maybe we don't see loved ones again. Or maybe we just come back to this one, in a form that befits us better and fated to find love and happiness. You know love can endure--and you know it will!--one of Mum's favorite songs from Crosby, Stills and Nash.

What I would love to do is throw on some video of my favorite celeb grrl, but that's not going to happen. It's telling that this year, Valentine's and Chinese New Year are the same day. Will this Year Of The Cat_TM be more romantic than others? We all could use some romance this time around.

Yes, day-trip is done. And I may go back again next Monday.

Saw a big wild animal cross the highway in front of me above Clinch Mountain along Highway 25E. Thought it might be a big bobcat. How big do they usually get? Are bobcats native to Southern Appalacia? It moved very fast and I was glad to be in my car and at a good distance from it.

Noticed that Morristown is finally getting a Dunkin Donuts shop. First good news all year. (For my local friends: It will be across Morris Blvd. from College Square Mall, between Office Depot and the CD Exchange.)

Even looks like Dee, don't 'em?
