Simple poetical phrases, each illustrated in pastels by Louise Reinoehl Max. Obv. intended for those who already realize why cats are irreplaceable, however many are about. Yess.. Intelligent Ones are leaving us ... (to our Lord of the Flies futchah?)

My mech. drawing instructor (who had his own prof. grade Ampex tape recorder) took me to hear Kirsten Flagstad, in a Pasadena recital (think: anything Wagner.) IIRC she had just retired from opera roles. And we met her backstage. And apparently I was to say ... Something! ..and I think it came out similarly, maybe, "I thought you sang very well." Which--actually is ... truthiness enough, one would think. Only later does a one realize ... "What, you're a critic now?" I may have gotten a small elbow jab from friend, but she was gracious, maybe even pleased to see a {superlatives-challenged} yout amidst the well-heeled mob? <sigh>
