Why just yesterday I was studying the box of cat litter while in the checkout line at the supermarket, pondering the marketing genius behind the big, bold letters stating it "Destroys Odors INSTANTLY." The bagger probably thought I was nuts for pointing out how simply awesome it is to be able to buy anything that instantly destroys something, obviously a childhood trauma after not getting my ray gun for Xmas. And by the way, no, two cats in a one-room cabin will instantly destroy the atmosphere nomatter what you do.
Tell ya what though, after yet another "day" (all 3 hours and 55 minutes of it) at thirty-below zero, and packing and trying to navigate the ice-fog in town, not to put too fine a point on it, the shit gets old, and good ol' gallows humor sets in as a psychological coping mechanism. Ha ha. Now back to drawing under the full-spectrum lamps...

I'm still adjusting to the fact that you're leaving, Jamie. Will you be back? More importantly, will your cartoons still run in the DNM?
ReplyDeleteDarn! I'll miss our conversations on the fly at Lulu's!
Looking at the sad state of affairs in the strewn wreckage about the cabin I'd say I'm not adjusting either! But given that everything's going into storage it's a safe bet I'll be back in a couplefew years at the most.
