Jtc, he is the son of my cat, Worms Mackenzie. I named him Worms because he looked so pitiful when I got him....remember the dog in commercials some years back.... Spuds Mackenzie? Worms, Jr's mother is a Manx cat. He has just a little puff of a tail. He has 2 brothers....one has a very short tail and the other has a shorter tail than normal. There was a 4th kitten, but he had Spina bifida, which I understand can happen with Manx cats. He was paralyzed in his back legs and had an open spine and died about an hour after being born.

It's always a problem to make people cut into it. If I make it for a meal at my own home, I don't put out any other butter, so they have no choice. When I take it to parties elsewhere, I always have to be the one to slaughter it. But sometimes the hosts want to "keep" it (not sure for what or for how long), so it doesn't get used at Easter meal.

We have osprey eagles in our area. This is one of the nests around Our city actually built a big box for them to nest in on the tv station tower. It sets up a live camera inside every spring to see the hatching and growth of the chicks.

Kswl - what a great assignment! It was their first public show since the pandemic and it was thoroughly entertaining. DD and I try to go whenever they come to Philly and hope Paula will be one of the panelists. We saw her 2 years ago and she is such a hoot. Mo is like the mischievous school kid who can't contain himself and just shouts out funny comments during class. The editors do a great job of turning it into a cohesive show when it airs. Maire
