Maybe you should replace cats with slugs or sloths, then we wouldnt age so fast!

Indeed. I simply love the picture paired with that Dr. Seuss quote (and please tell – where is that quote from? We are great readers of Dr. S, but I am not familiar with this one).

  thanks, shoes. some things are just waiting to be found and put together, i think. why i love collage art the best. ) as for a book that his quote came from, i’m not sure, it may be a stand alone, i found it in a group of quotes about time. he was quite the wordsmith and sometimes just spouted out words of wisdom that have carried on –
