Curiosity did not kill this cat. Being 96 years old killed him. I can only hope to live that long. Sadly, penguins don't :-(. Especially penguins that spent too many of their formative years inhaling silica and fiberglass dust and toxic fumes from oil refineries and etc.

Oh, no. Here I sit. It's almost midnight. I am glancing past the computer to the shelf containing most of Terkel's books, about half of which I've read. And I'm grieving as if a member of my family had died.

I can only hope to live that long.
