Sphynx Cat

Sphynx cat named OrpheusHere's a genuine, guaranteed, under warranty, super–duper, new and improved hairless Sphynx cat. As seen on TV (related post). He goes by the name of Orpheus P. (the "P" stands for "Pineapple Pete"). He's very sweet-natured—evidenced by the fact that he's turned me into the type of person who writes a haiku about their cat. Go figure.

     Sunny is the friend
     with yellow eyes and a quick
     melt disposition.

He's a peppy four–year old in this photo. With all the wrinkles, a Sphynx tends to look old to some people... really old. Like at least 112 years old. But they're not, except in People Years.

Crave more info? Maybe some music? Go to the Classical Cats website. That's where Orphy comed from.

Nice name, Orpheus. Have you taught him to play the lute? My sphynx' name is Dixie, and I've been trying to get her to whistle, but I think she only does it when I'm not home. Still and all, she's a sweetie. Just like Orphy, I'm sure.

Anizo 100% Reality Mind

Image
“Anizo 100% Reality Mind.” What this means, I have no idea. A friend found it living in a vending machine on the street in China and brought it back to Boston for me. The one-inch tall yellow plastic guy (I think it’s a he) has a smile, a blue tear, a pair of hand holes, a growth atop his head pierced clean through, and, on his backside, a man getting squeezed between two lines that I hope do not represent butt cheeks. The warning printed on the paper insert commands, “Do not use as lifeguard equipment.” Anizo and I, we’re inseparable. Anizo 100% Reality Mind!

Beyond MBA: Business Tips From The Memogenda

Image
Are you a mover and a shaker? A decider? Do you put the “man” in “ man agement” (and in “wo man ”)? Duh, or you wouldn’t be here today. Now that we’ve finished our three-hour vodka martini luncheon, I’d like to share something important with you. It’s about the Memogenda on your steel gray decision-making desk. The spiral notebook in embossed Leathertex paper. I don’t care what Irish illuminated manuscript calligraphers say, paper is so much easier to write on than dead animal skins. And the Book of Kells could have cut off a hundred years if those monks had Bics. ( At left: Unhappy monks. ) That’s but one reason why I so love my Memogenda ( at right ), and consult it for many a critical business decision. The system is simple to “manage” (har har!) and, if you open to Page 1, you’ll see the necessary instructions. I shan’t go over them. Do it yourself: thanks to the unique Memogenda system...

Illustration Friday: Hide

Image
Maurice’s cunning helped him evade that hungry field sparrow, and in doing so he discovered something new: his special affinity for flowers. He decided to go for it. He attained his Master’s Degree in floral arrangement from Chicago School of Flower Design. Today Maurice owns and manages a successful retail floral operation behind the shed there, to the left of the plastic green leprechaun. This is my drawing for the Illustration Friday ( IF website ) assignment, this time to illustrate "Hide". Click it for a bigger version.
