In re inevitability
Today, I will go to the Folklife Festival. Blog ya later.
In the meantime, inspired by the various cat news circling about, I post this picture of Fearless Fuzzbutt (aka Polalie) who in celebration of his approximately annual death daring adventure (See original story at
Draincat )
has disappeared.
Gone for about two weeks now.
If we weren't so used to his irresponsibility,
we would worry.
But, you know, Cat sera, sera.
The label for this post is in Occitan, an ancient French language that I found about in a book called "Labyrinth" by Kate Mosse.
Speaking of Moss, Did you know that Sterling Moss's family name was originally Moses?
Did'ja, huh?
Just drop the penultimate "e" and there you go.
Give to Kate.
Recycling, it's easy to do.
Although with "e" being the most popular letter in the English alphabet, it seems a somewhat meaningless gesture.
Here's all the ways I know to say What will be, will be;
What will be will be,
Que sera, sera,
Quod fiat, fiat.
Si es atal, es atal.
Che Cosa sara sia,
Cual sera sea,
Ce qui sera soyez,
Was ist, seien Sie,
Wal zal zai zjin zjin,
Αυτό που θα είναι θα είναι,
Что будет, будет,
and,
Cat sera, sera
Labels: Si es atal es atal

What is, is--or some such profoundity. Fuzzbutt has now done his feline disappearing act. Your cats take turns doing this or what? Perhaps Polalie is truly disoriented out there somewhere in the wilderness of Madronna, or being held ransom by racoons in Seward Park. Palmer Palace without Polalie just doesn't make it, man.
I love your linguistics message and scholarly research bit. I will probably post it on FFTR. Have you noticed I have turned the last couple of postings into eye candy? I found over 100 TIME magazine covers that were serious nostalgia, and then went ape shit with old movie magazine covers; many of them the hand-painted Hollywood marvels. Next up, I think, will be old LIFE magazine covers. And then perhaps old MAD magazine covers--who knows?

Hallo, Lane+Meredith,
The LL would like tolet you know about another Kate (pronounced in German like Katy), her Mutti, who was 99 on the day you did tjis blog. She (LL, not Kate) sends, as always, regards to you2 and to Keth.
Tschuess,

Hallo, again, Lane+Meredith!
You two wandered off for a while to the wilds of McCainLand (may he stay THERE!!!), so Polalie wanted equal rightts and wandered off to put them into practice!
Tschuess,
Anonomann
