Hi everyone! Thanks for the kind words.
As an ex-jock, I certainly don't mind "Spalding" in a sports sense. :)
But, in this case, Spalding is the name of my dear kitty who passed away on Sunday. She was named for Spalding Gray, who was a NYC-based monologist and actor who I saw many times on stage and just loved for his work. I first discovered Spalding Gray in college in 1986, we got Spalding the cat in 1991.
As they are both now passed on, a friend of mine said the other day, "Spalding (the cat) is now sitting next to her namesake." I really liked that.
