Cal.E.'s Korner

C.: (ring) Hi, D.C., are you busy?

D.: Well, I have a midterm exam to study for, I have assignments to complete, and I need to get ready for work this weekend. Additionally, I’m going over one book with a fine-toothed comb to see what needs to be rewritten and trying to make a schedule with Ace so we can collaborate on my nonfiction book.

C.: So, it’s a day that ends in Y?

D.: Yes, basically.

C.: That’s good to hear. And, while we’re on the subject of writing, could you add writing the script for this blog to your schedule?

D.: Cal.E, I just told you how busy I was…

C.: And you don’t think I’m busy?!! I’m taking care of my fourteen kittens, my husband, who’s whole name I don’t have time to say right now,

and filling in for Ralph at The Kennel on a regular basis/

D.: Cal.E., you have fourteen grown@#$! Kittens,

a husband who is good with his paws and knows how to cook delicious meals that are nutritious who is also a gentle cat.

Also, you only work four hour shifts at  The Kennel. If it’s too hard for Ralph

to work at the kitchen while he tours the back allies in Navasota, Indian Springs, Klein and Egypt playing the bass....I SAID BASS

maybe he should just turn his shovel in and stop being a cage cleaner at The Kennel. Ralph and the RoCKats’

NIKE tour is the shortest one they have….Hold on, Cal.E., I’ve never seen this person before, and they are trying to get into the house across the street. I’ll take my cell phone and take pictures, at least. Then, the homeowner can tell me if it is a friend when he gets home.

Wow! That’s great! I hold in my hand a device that holds all the knowledge man has accumulated since the beginning of recorded history, and I’m using it to argue with a cat and take pictures of a stranger!
