Finally, time permitting I went  to see the film “The Avengers.” The title reminded me of  the British television show with  Diana Rigg (Mrs. Peel) and Patrick MaNee (John Steed) from the 1960s.   Always a lot of fun but not quite as colorful or awe inspiring as the current version in theatres featuring the Marvel Comic characters, Iron Man (Robert Downey), Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) , Thor (Chris Hemsworth) , and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson).  The plot goes something like this:  Loki (adopted half brother of Thor) has formed a scheme with some other spacevillian types to destroy the Earth.    Nick Fury (Samuel L.  Jackson)  concocts a scheme to revive S.H.I.

It’s been several months since Koko, a domestic shorthair,  decided to take off from CCL’s house for parts unknown.   I still think of her and her kindness and affection.  (so much for cats not being affectionate).
