I loved the descriptions of the black cats 🐈‍⬛ in your life. Instead of the cliched bringers of bad luck, I see them as spirit animals, guiding you. 😊

These newsletters bring me such joy! Not half as much as your life jacket though... that wins the day.

I love black cats too! I had one named Albert who I still miss. Also, my parents lived near Jackson Hole for most of my adult life - on 90th and Columbus. My dad definitely rollerbladed by someone in your family in Central Park at some point. 😎

Emma, I’d just like to tell you I finished This Time Tomorrow this morning, and I loved it so much. It’s an instant classic. I cried absolute buckets. Thank you!

Yes! I totally would make the same sand/lightning comment! SUCH a good movie. I'm so glad that you got some kitty snuggles on your trip. Black cats are the best. My dearly departed Salem lived to 18 1/2 and was a force. I currently have a tortie, and I thought Salem was a diva. Binx is that and then some. So ornery and independent, but so am I, so we all get along great.

Aww your mention of black cats brought tears to my eyes. I have an old black miniature poodle whose days are numbered I know. Animals are such amazing gifts in this crazy life. On a happier note omg yes Sweet Home Alabama. I love it! “Why do you wanna marry me anyways? So I can kiss you anytime I want.” 😍
