But the real question is, is the cat single? ;D

Roger Ebert tweeted this appropriate gem this morning:
ebertchicago Some people are single. Others are soloists.

"I think what I really need is five good friends."
Love that. That's all anyone needs, really.
In the late 70's ( :o ) I worked with a friend in New York (still dear friends more than thirty years later, even though she shuttles, at the moment, between San Francisco and Dublin, Ireland). She was a San Franciscan, born and bred, she would get her care packages from home that included copies of the San Francisco Chronicle, and all our co-workers would steal them to read the latest entries of Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City, which was then serialized in the newspaper before it was published in the soon-to-be famous book (followed by sequels and miniseries, etc, etc).
Anyway, as Truman mentioned Tales of the City, and others mentioned cats, I just thought I had to mention the name of the TOTC character Mary Ann Singleton.
Even though I'm definitely not from Ohio, I have a lot of Mary Ann in me--especially as I am a Singleton from birth, as it were--
Mrs. Madrigal: Good. You're one of us then. Welcome to 28 Barbary Lane.
Mary Ann Singleton: Thank you.
Mrs. Madrigal: Yes, you should.
Mary Ann Singleton: Do you have any objection to pets?
Mrs. Madrigal: Dear, I have no objection to anything.
I'll also mention: Maupin's eight TOTC book is called "Mary Ann in Autumn," and fittingly, it will be released on November 2!

I wonder if Jack appeared to you singletons and insisted on befriending you if you would tell him "why don't you leave me be"??

Worked for Ennis didn't? Got all the perks without Jack being around most of the time? ;)
