Notes from a parish cat and his author Julie Mackenzie

My photo
I am Father Tom Fish, esteemed member of the religious team at Temptation of Christ Parish in the novels by author Julie Mackenzie. As to my background, I was invited into the rectory as a stray, laid on the charm, and was invited to stay, even honorarily ordained and no less spiritual than my sidekick Father Will. He dotes on me to high heaven and forgives all of my street cat proclivities, whatever the hell that means.

Moon No Match



It has no special powers despite its huge size. There is no magic. Mystical messages are not expected from it. Some higher tides will occur in those areas prone to be affected, but overall, no need to worry; unless, of course, the object falls in. We don't want to think about that, though. All we want to do is take in the rare beauty and magnificence of the sight.

It is a rare phenomenon that will render us speechless. It is an unbelievable 16 percent bigger than normal and brighter. Every living creature will behold its wonder, will tremble at its enormity:

"Le chou grande!" (the big cabbage!)

"Is Goodyear stamped anywhere?"

Mary Lou thinks I should go on a diet. I say pish-posh. Bigger is better. Ask the moon!

MOL, you are so correct. Bigger is better. What in the world is wrong with being large. That moon is gorgeous. Hope you have a great day.

Tom, the moon can't hold a candle to your fluffiness. :) Besides, you should see Eva and Lulabelle - more to love.

Bigger IS better, and we are all agreed! I think you are delectable looking. Fork tender. Delicious. Oops..I think I shouldn't have said all that.

Father Tom, this is the Admiral's Mom. I accidentally came over to see Father Tom still under my own account. Mom's! What's a body to do! I hope the Admiral doesn't punish me.
