Cut the String

Dear Julie,

It's been way too long since my last letter. I offer a simple explanation: I am a SLUG.

I watched the John Cusack movie "Gross Pointe Blank" this weekend. Overall, it was pretty funny (in a dark comedy kinda way). But the best part was the line, "Okay Chatty Cathy, cut the string." Of course several people immediately flashed into my head (Chatty Cathys every one). But here's the question: would the chattiest of Cathys even get the reference??? (Do YOU get the reference to the string, Young Chicken???)

The Traveling Gnome has been grounded!!! I am enjoying home & hearth these days. (Insert Snoopy Dance here.)

Pondering quietly (without Cathy chattering endlessly in the background),
Karen
