Thanks To All Of You
I appreciate the literally dozens of kind comments that have come in about the passing of my cat Katie (and her appearance on the Cat Blogosphere). 2009 has been a very bad year for me, ranking right up there with 1978 and 1988 as the worst year of my life, and this November has been unusually bad in an unusually bad year. A woman I was dating who I’d just gotten to the relationship point with bailed out on me on November 1 (it was her not me, I assure you) and at 2.30 a.m. this past Saturday I was twice pushed down a flight of stairs in my apartment building by a couple of very drunk, drugged out 20somethings who were making a ton of noise and who I’d simply asked to be quiet. I was lucky that I didn’t break anything and they were lucky I didn’t press charges. But I wanted to put all my energy into Katie, not those jerks (who don’t even live in my building, but had arrived for some late night partying). Besides, when I managed to get back up the stairs the second time, I punched one of them in the face and knocked him to the ground. Not that I felt good about it (I haven’t been in a fight in over 13 years), but he did get what he deserved.
Anyway, November has been truly rough and I appreciate everyone’s kindness.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving wherever you are.
