A GentleWOMAN AND A Scholar! "Wordy" Wednesday

Many of you will recall that a few weeks back, my baseball team, The Detroit Tigers, was competing in the World Series with the San Francisco Giants, which happens to be the baseball team of my buddy:

Spitty's human and my Mom made a bet. The loser had to buy the winner a special surprise that was tied to their "home" city.

Much to our dismay and embarrassment, the Tigers were swept like yesterday's litter and the San Francisco Giants won the World Series. Thanks to Spitty's Mom for forcing us to relive the debacle by blogging about it...AGAIN MOL.

In an attempt to not be a sore loser, which we all know that Mom really IS, Mom sent Spitty's human a delectable treat from one of Detroit's finest, Sanders Fine Chocolates!  Mom sent the :

TOPPING AND TORTIE GIFT BAG

Oh and noooo...the gift bag didn't contain a "Tortie" in the sense that WE kitties know "TORTIES"! There was NO cat in the bag! Mom sent the peanut, chocolate and caramel delight that we all know and love, along with a jar of Sanders famous Milk Chocolate Hot Fudge!

Mom and I were thrilled that Spitty's human enjoyed her treats! Mom thought it was all over and done with when...what did Mom receive today? Let me show you!


A beautifully wrapped package arrived!
From San Francisco!
Mom wondered
what in the world it could be!

Spitty's human  wrote
a most thoughtful note!!
Then Mom opened the package:

Spitty's human had sent the most WONDERFUL magnets that feature the art of Richard Diebenkorn, who grew up in San Francisco. Mom also received a gorgeous set of postcards that feature the artists Matisse and Picasso! They are from the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Click here to read about the museum.

Mom was incredibly touched by the thoughtfulness of  Spitty's human, but she was also a tad embarrassed. To represent Detroit, Mom sends calorie-laden treats, well Detroit IS one of the fattest cities in the country, now we know why and Spitty's human sends culture, sophistication and intellect to represent San Franciso...all wrapped beautifully in a box!

Spitty's human said it was "one of her favorite spots."

Hmmm...I think there is a deeper message here. Spitty's human is the epitome of culture, class, brains and sophistication and she portrayed San Francisco as such.

My Mom chooses a gift to represent Detroit that is chocolate-caramel-and -nut-laden.  Mom's gift infers that  she  spends her days sitting on her fat-behind trolling the Internet while shoving bon-bons down her throat, while Spitty's human is soaking up art and culture. Mom chooses a gift that says that HER "favorite spot" is a friggin CANDY SHOP!!   If her gift is a representation of Detroit, NO WONDER WE LOST! 

THANK YOU SPITTY'S HUMAN!!

YOU WIN YET AGAIN!

Love, Cody

"LIONS and TIGERS and BEARS!!! OH MY!!"

What a sports day we had here in Detroit yesterday!   "LIONS and TIGERS and BEARS! OH MY!!" "Toto Cody, we are definitely NOT in Kansas Cleveland anymore!"

First, as many of you know, our Detroit Tigers are in the ALCS Playoffs! They are battling the Texas Rangers for the title of American League Champions and should they win, they will be headed to the World Series! The Tigers were playing in Texas yesterday and part of their game overlapped with the NFL's Detroit Lions leonine return to Monday Night Football after a 10 year absence.

Felines follow me everywhere

who is about to be eaten by the Lion
There were a pride of 67,000+ fans (the largest in the history of Ford Field) who roared with pride as the UNDEFEATED Lions definitely showed "da BEARS" who rules the jungle in the "D"!
We have season tickets
here is one of the views
of the field from our seats


Another view from our seats pre-game.
The excitement was as thick as a Lion's mane!
The large screen showed the Tigers game
before the Lions/Bears game started.
Sadly, the Tigers lost Game 2 of the ALCS
Game 3 will be played tonight on FOX
Go get 'em Tigers!

The Lions/Bears game
couldn't have been better!
HUGE "CONCATULATIONS"
TO THE DETROIT LIONS
WHO POUNCED, MAULED AND CHEWED UP
24-13!!!

Gooooooooooooo Lions!!!
Best of luck for the remainder
of the 2011 Season!
