Almost 14 years old and she can still get up there with no problem. Especially while chasing the fly on the ceiling.

So, we're starting to go through the family home in the wake of our fierce matriarch's death last spring. Today I found this hilarious and baffling title in Mom's bookcase.

My dad had flat feet & was deaf in one ear, but he did not use them to dodge the draft. Instead of combat, during the Korean War he (a musician) was assigned to serve conducting a USO chorus in Baltimore.
See? These things have a way of working themselves out if you're honest about 'em.

When he returned from war, he had "shell shock," the early name for PTSD. My dad said Zig woke screaming most nights. Ziggy would spend the rest of his 87 years suffering from PTSD & depression, but never was considered a disabled veteran.

If you've followed/known me for any length of time, you've heard me mention my late, great, beloved Uncle Ziggy. Zig served in WWII, where he witnessed most of his comrades blown to bits beside him during an amphibious attack, then later was sent to help liberate camps because he spoke Yiddish.
