Hizzoner

I'm grinning because Hizzoner is coming for a visit. I'd called to tell him I'd voted early, reminding him of the slogan "Vote early and often for Curley" He's always telling me of the delights of politics in the area where he lives. It's quite an entertainment industry, politics in the south.
Anyway, in the course of conversation, he indicated that he was coming for a visit soon - it will have to be before the snow flies, because he's not well suited for driving in snow. I realized that he'd told my cat about his plans several weeks earlier. My Lydia is a scaredy cat and doesn't take well to strangers. My nephew lived with me for a couple of months and she would never let him near. But I digress. During a conversation with Hizzoner, we talked about the scaredy cat and I ended up putting the phone up to her ear. she perked up her big ears and was very attentive to the telephone. when I put the handset back to my ear, Hizzoner was saying something about a visit. He didn't say anything about it to me for another week or so....

addendum: Spoke with Hizzoner after I published the blog. Seems all I have to do to "stir the pot" is to mention a wedding. A family member had put her wedding on hold, and now the wedding is scheduled for tomorrow night. No time for invitations, but I wanted to celebrate with her. I mentioned that I had thought eloping would have been a viable option because the marriage is more than the wedding ceremony. Hizzoner actually handles the subject better than most men I've known. He did stress that the reasons one marries at a young age include having children, and the reasons for marrying later in life were fewer. I think he was talking about HIS reasons. I'm wondering for how long he will be backpedaling.
