Narrow Horizons

March 20, 2011 Tucson, Arizona
Here is Abra, hunter and gatherer. It is difficult for him here as this is the first place we've lived where he cannot run around outside on his own. I believe I mentioned that we take strolls through the halls late at night. He also has chosen to lounge around in the hallway outside of our door, where he is king of a rather bare domain. He occasionally strolls from one end to the other, thinking god knows what narcissistic thoughts.
     Christopher Buckley is an an American writer who reminds me a lot of PG Wodehouse, the British comic novelist, author of the Jeeves the Butler and Bertie Wooster books. Buckley's novel, Thank You for Smoking was made into a film a few years ago.
     I am reading his book, Supreme Courtship about the machination of Washington political  intrigue - and the laughable yet scary ways people use power. This is from the book:
     "I've got principles. And if you don't like them, I've got other principles."
