    I think you meant to type, “that 120-pound cat.” Best wishes for a restful recovery.

    My Shadow, by Robert Louis Stevenson

    I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me, And what can be the use of him is more than I can see. He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head; And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.

    The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow—Not at all like proper children, which is always very slow; For he sometimes shoots up taller like an India-rubber ball, And he sometimes gets so little that there’s none of him at all.

    He hasn’t got a notion of how children ought to play, And can only make a fool of me in every sort of way. He stays so close beside me, he’s a coward you can see; I’d think shame to stick to nursie as that shadow sticks to me!

    One morning, very early, before the sun was up, I rose and found the shining dew on every buttercup; But my lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepy-head, Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.

    One gadget I enjoyed using as a K-12 student held five pieces of chalk in parallel grips for drawing musical staffs on the blackboard. I wonder if there’s an equivalent for whiteboards.

    OZ needs to find Mary Martin’s wires. (cf. Mary’s performance as Peter Pan, broadcast from a live stage production.) Fun factoid: Mary’s performance was choreographed by Jerome Robbins.

    Thanks for the heads-up. I don’t check FB daily and don’t have accounts for the other two.
