R.C. Brophy Gets There - Eventually
Always wandering…Never lost
I received a phone call this morning at 6:01 a.m. from the school’s automated message system. The recorded voice informed me that there would be no school today. There was no explanation given as to why, nor could I ask the recorded voice any questions. Consequently, I sit looking out my window at the clear … Read more
I have a cat. Her name is Goldberg. She is named after the professional wrestler, Bob Goldberg, because when I acquired her, he was kicking ass in the wrestling world, and I thought my new cat kicked ass.

I have a cat. Her name is Goldberg. She is named after Bob Goldberg the professional wrestler. Back in the mid-90s when I acquired my cat, Bob Goldberg was undefeated in the professional wrestling world.
