You have caught my attention with this wonderfully apt post!
ReplyDeleteLovely post, TimT (but what's the catch?)
ReplyDeleteWell it seems to have caught on, thanks folks.
ReplyDeleteMitzi, I note that sometimes the way attention is caught is through the courting of attention.
ReplyDeleteLoving it!
ReplyDeleteBut tell me - how do you catch a goo goo? (Or are you too shy to say)
Thanks, I'm not sure what you mean by goo goo... (I was wondering for a second if you possibly meant 'googlie').
ReplyDeleteUm... possibly catching a goo goo would be a boo boo?
Sorry - must be showing my age. I was referring to the 1980's pop combo Katchagoogoo (Too shy shy, hush hush, eye to eye).
