My family. Somewhere above the Pacific. Wrecking havoc? Resting quietly? Watching the little plane cartoon make its way past Hawaii, across the date line, losing July 4th.
I haven't told Zelda. She wouldn't be able to sleep. I've made that mistake before. I once said, can you believe??, "Tomorrow we'll take a walk". Somehow she missed the TOMORROW bit and thought we were on our way RIGHT NOW. Her favorite person in the whole world is coming. Tomorrow.
Will I be able to sleep?

My beautiful black cat Quixote understood English perfectly. I used to say "Tomorrow I'll get you a new collar" or whatever it was and the next day he would yell his head off until I gave him whatever I'd promised. When Podna or I were away, the other would have to say how many nights it would be until we were back. And he would keep count.
miss him still
