Tricky questions for tricky times

I am writer, reader, and lover of cats (almost all animals for that matter, although multi-legged, scaly and leathery types I admire from a distance). I worked for nearly 30 years in the newspaper industry, primarily as a copy-editor, but also doing stints as a writer and designer. I am interested in astronomy, science, issues in faith and spirituality (but can't be bothered by religion). I like storytelling and thus all mediums in which it occurs: family stories told around the dining room table, books, magazines, newspapers television, radio, movies, stage, electronic devices. Wherever stories are told that's where people gather. It is a universal phenomenon available to all, a tested and true method by which we learn, share and develop our identities. The cat for whom this blog is named is now longer with us. She sends her deepest regrets, sort of. In her place stands the Sheriff, chief investigator whose names best describes his methods: Chomps. Comes off tough, but really he's more Andy Taylor than Boss Hogg. View all posts by tuxedofiles
