The Monday Morning Memo

The band’s manager had a friend with a cat named Procol Harum, and he thought it sounded good. The band didn’t know what it meant, but later found out the Latin phrase procul harun means ‘beyond these things,’ which they thought appropriate. Why the cat was named Procol Harum is not known.

Random Quote:

“The other night I dreamed that you and I were walking toward a sunset and suddenly the sun began to rise. Reminds me of a favorite book of mine. But, then, I had the same dream about two other men, when they were down, Carl Sandburg and Robert Frost. Carl was eighty-three on January 6 and Frost is even older. God bless you and keep you. I’ll see you in 1980.”

- James Thurber, from a letter he wrote - but never sent - to Ernest Hemingway shortly before Hemingway's suicide in 1961. Thurber died 4 months later. The "sun" reference is to Hemingway's first book, The Sun Also Rises
