One last thing:

Someone sent me a series of text messages last night while I was out being a drunken sod. One message in particular strikes me in a great light today. She wrote: "Humanity cannot compare to a purring cat."

Such a brilliant and concise summary of emotion and philosophy. I really do love those words. Last night, as I was, it didn't hit me so sweetly. Now it does.

Thanks for bedazzling me hours later. See? There are some exceptional beings on this planet.
