Yep, our overnight low will be around 10 to 12 degrees but the wind chill will be well below zero.

Big ‘Un kept begging to go out so I picked him up and held him just outside the door a little while ago. He hasn’t made a sound since. LOL! He’s parked on top of the fridge.

Yes! Not HAVING to go anywhere is a great benefit of retirement! Especially when the weather’s really crummy. No point freezing one’s hiney off when it isn’t necessary. :-)

Exactamundo! I LIKE not having bosses! Well....except for Peaches and Ginger. But they feel the same way I do about naps and going out in the cold...or extreme heat for that matter! LOL!

Good place for a kitty to be...it’s got to be nice and warm up on top of the fridge. I’m glad mine never learned that trick, though! They did used to lay on top of my coke machine so they could see out our very short windows, but not much any more. Guess they outgrew that. :)

THE DOORS

”LIGHT MY FIRE”

”Light My Fire,” the Doors’ first and most successful single, was an intoxicating sonic cocktail blending Ray’s Bach organ fugues with Robby’s Flamenco-style guitar while Jim, the psychedelic Sinatra, crooned and bellowed such provocative lyrics as “You know that I would be a liar.”

Over seven minutes long, the original track not only contained one of the Door’s most memorable lyric hooks but was the perfect vehicle for Ray Manzarek’s swirling climactic organ work, which gave way to Robby Kreiger’s slinky midnight Arabic tent dance.

“The first thing that impressed me about Ray was that he played organ and bass at the same time, which is no mean feat!” exclaimed legendary organist Al Kooper. “He was unique in that he didn’t play a Hammond organ, which nearly everybody used at the time. But he had played my lick from ‘House in the Country’ in one of their songs (‘L.A. Woman’). Once we were on a plane, he came down the aisle and I said, ‘Hey, you stole my lick!’ He said, ‘I was paying tribute to you!’ I said, ‘I wish you were paying money!’ Ray was a nice guy. I thought he was very good and appropriate for what the band was doing. Other than stealing my lick he was pretty original.”

The Doors’ seemingly unique instrumentation actually mirrored that of the Rascals, comprised of a lead singer who occasionally jangled a tambourine, organ/keyboard player, guitarist and drums. While both bands hired bassists to beef up their recordings, they performed live without them, relying on their keyboardists (Felix Cavaliere in the Rascals’ case) to provide the bottom end.

[Publius note: When my mother first heard this song, she said, “Ew-w-w, I don’t like it! It’s evil!”]

“Light My Fire”

Tune in tomorrow night for more of the Doors’ first album.

We're recovered for the most part, thanks! We took the tree down last Tuesday - it dried out more quickly than we expected. We're leaving some decorations - our Dickens Village, and a few other things - until our daughter Mary comes by this weekend.

LOL! As long as we have cats in our lives, we have bosses. And they’re very good at training us to meet their demands.

I’m surprised he has the top of the fridge to himself. Gabbi is usually up there and she doesn’t like to share.
She likes to each down and grab our hair when one of us gets something out of the fridge. One of her favorite “games”. Lil stinker.
