TOUGH MORNING… ALREADY
We’re putting Satchmo to sleep in about 1 hour. He seems to know for some reason. He is crying and he has never done that before.
He can’t drink water anymore and he has a tough time swallowing… I imagine it’s like if I had a super bad sore throat. He has been unable to clean himself like he used to… He was a meticulously clean cat. He was crusty and stinky yesterday so Mariann and I gave him a warm bath and shampooed him. After he was dried he seemed to be very happy with how he looked. It’ll be real tough at the vet office but we both know we’re doing the right thing… He is just beginning to be unhappy and unable to function. Our other cat, Ella, doesn’t give a crap…
Anyway, that is what is happening on this 35 degree rainy Wednesday morning…

POOTER SATCHMO DIAGNOSED WITH MALIGNANT TUMOR ON HIS TONGUE :-(
We just got back from the vet and Satchmo has cancer. We will probably have to send him off on a kitty journey in three or so weeks… Sad news… He is a good pooter. We figure he is about 15 to 16 years old…
Here is a pic of pooter Satchmo from 2001:

MISCELLANEOUS PICS FROM CALIFORNIA PART 2
This is a shot of Shaun… Shaun is a flipper of birds. This is at a little hole in the wall Mexican joint that was absolutely fantastic.The images below are from the Goat Hill Tavern in Costa Mesa. I have been gong there for years and always make a trip or three there when in town. It’s the most fantastic beer bar in the world as far as I am concerned because it has atmosphere in addition to the beer. There is a place across the street that has a lot of beer too but it’s boring and sterile. This time my camera peaked the interest of the bartender and he took me into the keg room. The pictures that follow are all different directions and not duplicate kegs with the exception of the one with the bartender. This is “Chilly Heaven”…
Here is a pic of Los Angeles with some hiking folks from Kenneth Hahn Park in the Baldwin Hills…
My pizza from Oggi’s near my parents place. It was double roasted garlic, goat cheese, pine nuts, artichoke hearts and kalamata olives. One of the best pizza’s I have had…
