200 grams

My favorite commenter has reminded me that it’s time to post.  So post I shall.  I spent the day at Marymount School’s book fair.  I am a lover of books; reading them, writing them and maybe most of all, talking about them.  It was especially sad for me to hear of the impending demise of another independent bookstore today (to remain nameless for the time being).  This store though was interesting to me for the fact that the owner is not a book-person.  There was no infatuation there.  The little guys need to be owned by the cult members.  The people that drink the kool-aid.  I guess the news is not a giant surprise in fact. But in that vain I will soon post a list of the bookstores in Paris (which is getting shorter!).  You never know when you might need a new book.

Now for the 200 grams.  That’s not the weight of my latest missive.  No.  No.  That is what Miss Snuggles lost since January on Obesity Management.  She had a weigh-in yesterday at the vet.  She’s down to 9.2kg.  Her goal is 8.5 (to fly with the humans on Air France she needs to get down to 5 kg — basically skin and bones!)  I’m thinking of getting her a gig as spokesdog for the brand.  Watch out Valerie Bertinelli.
