Hi Dagi,
I have a black cat too! But, she's a girl so I don't call her Jack. Her name's Vivien. :)
And Lee, that's just amazing to me that your husband still hasn't seen BBM. The "chewing gum and balin wire" is such a great line.

Mine neither. Which is why he didn't recognize it when I promised to see that his "wishes was carried out ... about the ashes, I mean" or when I told him that it was so nice and warm on the back porch and that if we turned off the damn AC "it could be like this, just like this, always" inside the house, too.
OK, I said I'd see that his wishes "are" carried out. If I'd used a singular verb, he definitely would have wondered. ;D

That's what gives me away...the accent, and the vernacular! I'm a happy Brokie, but my grammar's shot all to hell!!

I will win the guy over yet!!

While it's difficult to believe you didn't calf-rope him and force him to watch at some point, for some reason it really astounds me that he didn't know Larry McMurtry was involved in the project. ???

He was so proud of his latest purchase--a De Lillo racing bike--that he bought a De Lillo hat. When I saw it, I especially admired the embroidered rainbow patch that came on it. I mentioned that it looked like a diversity symbol. My fatal error. I won't tell you the crude reply he made, but it was similar to Ennis's "I ain't no queer." He said that was the logo of the Italian Racing Team. I noticed today that he actually removed the rainbow from the hat!! >:(
