Happy Birthday!
My 50th is right around the corner. My plans for having a gala ball have been quashed by Old Man Covid. I guess I'll just stay home and cook myself a steak or something.

I have only one degree of Alex the Parrot. How's that Lemmy? The first Mrs. Caution, who had a PhD and knew a lot of Ivy League prof. types, got to meet Alex. Why someone that smart would have fallen for me given the state I was in at the time we met (and ongoing for another 4-5 years) I truly have no idea. I'm a reptile who has sort of drifted around just-beyond-the-periphery of a lot of famous/noteable folks. I also have one degree of Mick Jagger, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Michael Stipe, Neil Armstrong, Stephen J. Gould, Angela Davis and Barack Obama (which means I have two degrees of Jaime Hyneman). ...There's a few other unfortunates out there as well. I have 0 degrees of Seth MacFarlane. Which causes me to wonder which awful shlub in Family Guy he based on me...not sure I want to know. |

I've hardly ever run into anyone famous/powerful. I wouldn't know how to act.

Like yourself.
I've reached a point where I find it really funny that I always seem to know-someone-who-knows-someone. Hasn't really changed my life at all.

Helluva birthday. My experimental cake recipe was, if I say so myself, phenomenal. I got an awesome card. My Stapelia schinzii var. angolensis bloomed. My migraine went away at last.. AND I Learned that Sabertooth's grief and sorrow (and even my own) are about to get somewhat better. I got a text with photos announcing the arrival of my co-worker's new bebeh kittehs and the one with the stripe is NOW SET ASIDE FOR ME: pin.it/1jg4NRf
Aww! Whatcha gonna call him/her/it?

I can't remember if I've told this story here or not: Many years ago I worked as a desk clerk at a motel in Greensboro. Robert Wagner and his wife were doing a touring production of "Love Letters". Their original hotel didn't meet their standards, so they were transferring to ours. I was working the front desk and happened look up and thought "Huh, that guy looks like Robert Wagner," Then I looked down at my computer and saw the name "Robert Wagner". And I thought: . . . . . "What a coincidence, he's named Robert Wagner too." |

This morning my mom came across a meme on Facebook and read it aloud:
"When you have a problem, don't go to the phone. Go to the Throne!"
Apparently it meant God, but both of us immediately thought it meant "Go to the toilet"

I was one degree away from a whole load of people for a while, because my friend who was a filmmaker had a fairly extensive rolodex. Fat lotta fuckin' good it did me.  As to random encounters, you get a lot of that in New York, not surprisingly. I'll have to see if I can remember any notable instances. |

Well this is nice. A topic I was grousing about in the Ennui section (Hurricane Delta) seems to be less of a threat to our immediate area than initial forecast predictions. Whew is all I can say.  |

But she -- they got it wrong, she's apparently a she after all -- gave me lickies when we met and slept on me very companionably. Very nice kitteh. |

Bebeh is a nice name. 
I'm happy to report that I only have eleven working days left in the month.  |

Beat me to it!
There is a surprising number of titles on there I've never even seen before. Can't wait to hear them.

They'd probably be thrilled if you just acted as if they were the same as everyone else. |
