Well, this post will mostly be about our new family members. And a little about Nick Cave.

I have to say, gang, the little playpen is fantastic — and much roomier than I thought it would be. Little Blackie seems to love it in there — it’s safe, and she can still see everything around her. And it’s a lot warmer than being outside right now.

It basically puts itself together — you pull off an elastic band and it SPROINGS! right into shape.

It was such a relief, gang. because it got so cold again last night and I did not have to worry about them at all. (They are set up right next to my bed.)

So it turns out there are 4 kittens — not 3. There was a little grey one that I couldn’t see inside the dark cat house filled with straw.

But this is a good thing! Because you never want to not have enough kittens to try to find homes for….

Anyway. All things considered, I am really happy with how this turned out. I will just take it day by day.

And the neighbors, who brought over the cat houses in the first place, are really excited so maybe we will get these kittens adopted somewhere really close to home. (And — NO! –I am not going to secretly bring their daughters in to play with the kittens & fall in love… that just wouldn’t be right…)

I will just say this quick thing about the pilot script, because I can’t really post the details on the blog, but Peitor and I got some FANTASTIC feedback yesterday from one of the producers he met at Series Mania in Lille, France.

As it becomes appropriate, I will fill you in!

Nick Cave sent out another Red Hand File this morning, that was rather heartwarming!! There were apologies all around. If you read yesterday’s post — well, the woman who wrote to him and went off on his income, wrote and apologized. (I’m wondering if she will ever recover from having her bile spewed internationally?) Anyway you can read it in full here. (It takes about 3 seconds…)

And I think that’s it!

Its chilly but really sunny today. If it warms up a bit, I will likely take my favorite 94-year-old Japanese client to Geller Park. I’ve taken him there before, but it was before all the dogwoods were in full bloom. He loves it there. But because of his wooden leg and his cane, we really can only just sit on a park bench close to the car and look at everything. But the park is built on ancient Indian burial mounds (2000 years old). I used to live a block from there and went there all the time. It is such a fantastic park.

Okay. Enjoy your Wednesday, wherever you are in the world!!

Thanks for visiting.

I love you guys. See ya!

On this very day, 44 years ago, Chong Foun Kee and I got married at City Hall in downtown Manhattan!! We still wish each other “Happy Anniversary” on this glorious day. Even though we both kinda go “WOW” as the years continue to keep on coming.

Anyway! During our first year of marriage, this song came on the radio one afternoon when we were in our apartment in the Camelot Building — where we lived, a block from Times Square — and he turned up the volume and dedicated it to me. (We both found this very amusing.)

So, Barbra Streisand and Neil Diamond — “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers”, 1978. Enjoy, gang!!
