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.

A Bogie Monday

Hi, effurybody!

I'm at a loss for words. I guess that's what Mr. Eastman of Eastman Kodak said when he invented roll film so we could all take pictures. Then, a smartie pants said, "A picture is worth a thousand words." And the photo essay came to be. This blog will never have a thousand words..

But, it will have a photo, featuring the one human I've always looked up to.

Humphrey Bogart.

He knew how to handle women.

And he handled them with the kind of finesse that only made them want him more.

My hat is off to you, sir.. or, maybe I'll just keep it on.


This could be the start of a beauti-fur friendship!

Tom
