Not sure I will make it from up sun to down,
Without feeling I'm being some sort of a clown,
But I said I woulid do this, I mean to produce
Every post on this day in the style of Doc Seuss

Also, right off the bat, I've included a #cat

@floregonian.com
Didi, the Calico and white Scottish fold cat (no folded ears) glaring out from under a black cowboy hat with big green eyes.

Thomas had determined that you must all witness the magnificence of his floor. He actually opened his eyes for the occasion and LOOK AT THOS FLUFFY FEET! #cats #catsofbluesky
A big fluffy cat Sir Thomas, lying on his back on the bed. His feet are curled in front of him, back feet in the air, white belly presented to the world (it's a trap). He is just awake enough to glare at me.

Since we started calling Cartel Telly Bean, and then, just the Bean or Bean, we have also been repeating "All things server the beam" from @stephenking.bsky.social and Roland's world... we had no idea this would happen... she does not shoot shoot with her claw, or forget the face of her father...
Telly Bean, our tabby gold and tan short-haired Persian cat, waring a black cowboy hat and looking evil as hell, a gold stripe on her eye that looks like a Tigereye gemstone, the other squinted... she says thankee sai.

With the holidays upon is it is time for me, once again, to mention that I love pie. I wrote a book, American Pies- Baking with Dave the Pie Guy. Pictured here is a blueberry pie, and the cover of the book... available HERE. books2read.com/u/498X9p (universal book link) HD and TPB also available.
three photos in a line. The first is a topless blueberry pie with filling and a light blue pie bird in the center (It releases steam). The second is that same pie with the top crust and the bird popping thrigh. The third is the pie, baked, and in front of it a copy of my book American Pies - Baking with Dave the Pie Guy featuring a photo of my own creation, the All American Pie - and myself in my chef/baker's hat.

#cats #cattree #caturday This is from the WAY back machine, before we put the addition on the house that is the new family room. That cat tree saw a lot of use. Sleeping on top is Trixie, who passed away several years ago of a heart attack. Middle is a young Stormageddon, &Sir Thomas flopped below.
A cat tree with a thick faux bark "trunk" up the center three levels of platforms, and leaves dangling over it all like it's a tree. On top is a sleeping orange tabby short-haired Persian cat. On the middle platform, standing and watching me, is Stormageddon, Dark Lord of Awwww who is a black, brown, and tan tabby with white legs and ffeet, chest belly and muzzle. He has round orange eyes. On the bottom platform is big ol' Sir Thomas, a creme colored long haired rescue cat with a big white beard. His head is ducked, so you cant' see the beard.

#cats #caturday #Scottishfold #catitude Giorgio the Magnificent was down for a long cuddle today...
Me, holding Giorgio - our silver and black Scottish fold up against my chest. He is looking off to his right with huge greeneyes. He has tabby markings in silver and black, a mostly white/gray chin and the fuzziest feet ever.

I feel this... #cats #catsofbluesky #caturday
This is a slightly older photo of six of our cats on the bed at once (It's not all of them, there are eleven). This is the first time, I think, that I've posted a picture with Crowley in it. He was a huge diluted gray tabby rescue, white feet and belly. He's lying on his side here in front of Didi, turned away, who is a calico and white Scottish fold without the dna marker to fold the ears, Sam Francisco, an orange medium hair stray with a big white beard, Clara, who is showing her butt and tail - she is a little round short-haired Persian, white with some orange patches, and a calico tail, Pants, the tuxedo cat behind Sam, and way off in the corner, Webster, looking back over his left shoulder. He's an orange taby short-haired Persian with white feet. They are all on the blue top oover or our bed in a heap.

This is our old boy Tiki Kowalski ... he went to a new home with a lot of other birds a while back... I miss him a lot.

Webster is looking very pleased with himself, having moved into the warm spot where I was napping with Sam and Didi earlier. If I walk over there, he turns over like this and plays "cute" to charm me into leaving. #cat #catsofbluesky
Webster, a short-haired Persian with orange tabby markes on his head, back, and a wonderful striped tail, laying almost upside down on my recliner, front paws curled back agains this chext and looking very comfrotable. He's laying in the spot where I just napped, taking the warm spot.

I've shared this before, but I just reached the point in the edit of the first draft where it appears again, slightly modified. It's clearly an homage, as you will see if you read, but it is the heart of this novel, as well... First writing in several days, so feeling relieved. Also a cat sketch...
Some places breathe with their own rhythms. Men and women pass through but rarely connect. Even more rarely are those connections immersive. Time flows differently for a place than a person. Lifetimes define men and women, but generations define a home. Coyne House was born as one man’s vision of perfection. Her bones were created from the sweat and blood of craftsmen. Her filigrees and polished stairwells were lovingly curated by generations of the Coyne family. They lingered. When you walked through the doors, took in the brightly lit foyer, and mounted the winding stairs to the upper floors, there was a sense of age and wisdom. And there was darkness. Death was not a stranger in Coyne house, and her presence teased along the throats of any who entered. It was more a caress than a warning, but caresses are notoriously deceptive. A pencil and charcol sketch of our cat Giorgio, a scottish fold, only he his wearing a big, long magician's coat and has devil horns protruding from his head where those foldy ears are. I drew it for my daughter.

Clara is trying to flap her ears and take off, but cats don't get physics, and she's... round. #cats #persiancats
A fuzzy white short-haired Persian cat with her ears sort of out of focus, looking like she's flapping them and trying to fly.

They say never read the reviews, but... this is the best review in the history of reviews... for REMEMBER BOWLING GREEN - The Adventures of Frederick Douglass - Time Traveler.
FIVE STARS ON AMAZON: 5.0 out of 5 stars the greatest book ever written Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2017 Format: Kindle This is, the greatest book ever written. Makes the Bible look like See Dick Run. Makes the Koran look like Twilight. It should win ever book award available, the Nobel Prize for Lit (AND Peace) and should be required reading for elementary, middle, high school, college, for entry in to the job market, for before you get married, before you have children, to read to your children and to prepare you for death. It changed my life in so many amazing ways. A true story of courage, hope, durability, verisimilitude and hope and verisimilitude. If you don't read ANY book in your lifetime... read this one!! 4 people found this helpful

I see the Donald has dropped into his odd time machine gain to suggest JP Morgan had email contact with Epstein - you know, like when he said he'd heard Frederick Douglass was "doing great things" and it spawned the novel "Remember Bowling Green," (royalties to the aclu) books2read.com/u/m202Q7

This was me back then. On the floor is "Campo Cruzer" my fawn Doberman and companion for many, many years. I was too young to appreciate I wasn't old then.
Me, mid 1980s in Rota, Spain with my dog "Campo Cruzer" - he was registered "Fawn" doberman. He's lying on the floor beside my chair and IU'm leaning down to pet him.
