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.

Meet Me Here!

Hi, everybody!

Tom here and I have so many plans for this new year, I don't know where to begin.

In the past, as you know, I've always tried to stay busy - in between naps, that is. Every once in a great while, I would post something on here, but that was it.

I didn't tell you because I was too embarrassed, but one of those activities involved trying to write a western.




I, "Fast Gun" Fishworthy, started off with: "The lawman entered the saloon, confident he had his man, only to be knocked down by an over-friendly dalmatian."
I honestly didn't know where to go from there. So I was stuck. Writer's block, I guess they call it.

~~

I tried singing. Starting with the opera Aida, it turned out to be more like i-yiyiyi!!!




 Housekeeper covered her ears and everything (which actually is not so bad considering she has ugly ears.)

Anyway, I'm going to be really careful what I pursue in this new year.  What I will be doing is posting on my blog every MANCAT MONDAY. I'll be here!! I can only come on once a week, but Monday will be a good time to post and then I have a week to come visit you all at yours.

Don't forget, if once a week isn't enough, come see me at http://www.facebook.com/FrTomFish I'm there every other day with whatever pops into my head.

So, be good. Don't take any wooden nickels and most of all, always keep an eye out for those bearing treats!!

Hail, hearty and holy,
Tom

Maybe opera singing is not your "thing". Writing is pretty difficult too with paws. Looking forward to Mondays. I love wooden nickles!

A western huh Tom? Well, maybe that's just not your thing. Maybe ya' might find another genre better suited to ya'. We think your singin' was purrobably very nice. Have fun and enjoy your naps. Big hugs

Luv ya'

Hey, I'm not complaining, Lucy, Sam, Happy, and I are just thrilled to see you and your lovely paws dancing across the page! And once a week on Mancat Monday? Why, pshaw, I'd say we'd keep the light on for you, but let's do one better: Tom, we love you so much that we'll keep the sandbox clean for you. After all, you are the cat's meow! Xoxoxo
