January 24, 2008 – Lenore came out with me to visit the Jeering Gallery as the snow started to fall – surprise. Lenore simply refuses to be rejected by anything living, human or animal. She has nearly even charmed Mother the Barn Cat. The goats jeer and squawk at her, but she takes life with her usual equanimity. She simply screens out rejection, and usually, wins over all things. You may not have noticed, but I am fond of Lenore. She was with me all morning, went into Glens Falls, three meetings, three different buildings, all kinds of strangers and commotion. She ended up in various laps, getting her belly scratched, snoring in the middle of the floor, finding the stray ancient and revolting crumb and eating it.
  I think Lenore has a titanium lining in her stomach. Lenore is the light.
