Letter to Erin 20150516

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

Hello, beautiful Erin.  And how are you this lovely day?  Busy, busy?  So am I.  This morning, I woke up at 4 am.  But I was so worn out by 8, I couldn't continue.  After all, I had another late night last night doing encoding.  I want to relax right now, but there's always something to do around here.  I need to make a batch of dough.  And some mango juice.  Right now, I'm watching "You Only Live Twice."  This movie has the distinction of featuring the best Bond villain: Donald Pleasance as Ernst Stavro Blofeld.  Wealthy, powerful, bloated and ugly, a guy you would just love to hate.  Classic Bond villain.  Let's see him again in the next Bond movie.  Hey, I want that toy helicopter 007 used in the movie!

I had a few chicken bones left over from making chicken broth in my cooler.  I took a sniff at it, and thought this won't last much longer.  Then the indoor cats started going berserk.  "OK OK, be patient, I'll give you some."  While they were gnawing away at their snack, I stripped the meat off the rest of the bones, and used it for my noodles.  The cats were still going crazy after they finished their snack.  While I was having my lunch, ------- stuck her claws in my butt, so I smacked her.  Don't be greedy!  Aggressive female!  So she backed off a little, quickly stuck another pawful of claws in my butt, then quickly ran and laid down by the front door with a scowl on her face.  I've never seen a cat scowl like that!  I wish I had taken a photo, but I didn't get a chance.  I was right about those chicken bones, though.  By sunset, they made a frightful pong in my trash.

Oh I'm sorry, I couldn't share my lunch with you.  I didn't want to waste that chicken, but I would never have served it to you.  The cats loved it, though.  And I love you, and I need you.
