   I think Sally has Ordinal Linguistic Personification Synesthesia. (Google is your friend, kids. It’s a fun rabbit hole.)

   Any time an outside door has been opened, I always do nose count to make sure The Gentlemen Gatos (Tuxedo boys, Sir Jasper Goodkitty and Master Onyx Serendipity) are present and accounted for.

   Happy ending or not, I don’t like pussycats in peril. Ever. Not even a little bit.

   I really don’t like this story line. My nagging fear is that the apartment maintenance men will leave one of the doors open and my boys will get scared and bolt. (They’re both chipped, but it doesn’t make one iota of difference.)

   We don’t need a fountain of youth. We’ve got plenty of youth. What we really need is a fountain of smart.

   “tubes of concentrated nasty” That’s the most apt and evocative description I’ve heard in a long time.

   My mother never counted. I don’t think she knew how. I did what I was told, when I was told, or I got introduced to the business end of a peach tree switch.

   The top of Mt. Everest is called the Death Zone. At 26,000 feet the body starts to die, cell by cell of oxygen deprivation. Over 300 people have died trying to reach the summit of Everest, and some of their bodies are used as trail markers by the living.

    I have it myself. Since I was a small child, I have viewed numerals, letters, days of the week and months of the year as either male or female and/or having personalities. For example, I think of 2 and 5 as masculine, but 3 and 4 are feminine. Eight is feminine, but grumpy. Monday is female, but Friday is male. June and July are masculine, but August is feminine. Of all the forms of synesthesia, this one is probably the most useless. One form allows people to hear musical notes as colors. Some people with perfect pitch probably have this form of synesthesia. I think my grandmother may have had a form of synesthesia where she associated odors with color. The family laughed when she said, “I smell red paint,” but she might have been telling the truth as her brain perceived it. The many different types of synesthesia are a fascinating read.
