Yes, kids, at a little before 8 this morning, my little monster, Miss Bess, Queen of the Ivory Tower succumbed to a brief illness. It started as liver disease, and from there all her organs just started shutting down. I KNEW she was drinking out of my tumblers of wine! Anyway, it all happened within 24 hours, so she went quickly. I was with her when they put her down, singing her song "Bessie Mae Mucho" softly into her ear as she drifted away. AND wearing my big dark glasses, hair tucked under an Hermes scarf, a schmear of red lipstick for color. She was my baby, and I loved her.
She will be missed.
