Farewell to a great gato named Omar. 17 years he spent on this earth and he leaves behind a shadow of memories that will endure in all those that knew him.
His only regret in life was that he did not take more naps.
A cat must have a code.

Gay Talese was dispatched to LA in 1966 to write a feature on Frank Sinatra for Esquire. The entire time he was put off with the excuse that the interview couldn't happen because, "Frank Sinatra Has a Cold." So Talese wrote about everything else & it became a template of the new journalism.

But, good my brother,
Do not, as some ungracious pastors do,
Show me the steep and thorny way to Heaven
Whiles, like a puffed and reckless libertine,
Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads
And recks not his own rede.

So times were pleasant for the people there
until finally one, a fiend out of hell,
began to work his evil in the world.
Grendel was the name of this grim demon
haunting the marches, marauding round the heath
and the desolate fens;
— Beowulf
