[lit-ideas] Re: New Year's Resolutions

Thanks, Phil, I needed that.  Just for your information, though, the Old
Possum Book of Practical Cats is by T.S. Elliot.  Those poems are the
soundtrack for the Broadway show Cats.  The Jellicle Cat is Elliot's
invention. That post wasn't about my cat.  It was about T.S. Elliot.  It
would have been nice if Julie had posted a poem or maybe something from the
New Yorker or someplace else about her neighbor's cats or about shopping. 
But, she didn't and that's fine. .
