I bet every one of you reading this column (both of you) have read or heard of the book Conversations With God by Neale Donald Walsch. What will excite all of you that don’t know is that it is being made into a movie. This book that has touched so many and has sold millions and been translated into most languages, will now be available in a movie for you to share. The Inner Space and the Oracle 20-20 magazine have been chosen to be the hosts in Atlanta. It will be right here, in Sandy Springs with personal appearances of Neale Donald Walsch and the producer and director, Stephen Simon. The editor will be announcing the date of the movie this fall in the Oracle 20-20, so stay tuned, kitties!
So what does this have to do with Herb The Cat? Well, now that you asked, ‘Ole Herb was asked to represent Oracle 20-20 magazine along with it’s editor at the preview screening. That’s nice, you say, but so what? Well!!!! This screening just happened to be taking place on a 7-day cruise with the Spiritual Cinema Circle that previewed over a dozen movies and shorts! Well, somebody had to sacrifice themselves and being the writer of the longest running column in Oracle 20-20, the mantle fell on my shoulders. The first day, after a hearty and delicious breakfast, we saw a great movie that I will review later. After the movie, it was up on deck to a hearty and delicious lunch and a catnap around the pool. Then after hearty and delicious afternoon snacks around the hot tub (I did not know there were that many different flavors of ice cream and cookies of which pistachio – catnip was my favorite), it was back to the movies again. It went on that way every day except when we were in a Mexican port.

Speaking of Mexican ports, did you know that you could get ANY prescription drug just by walking into a pharmacy and asking for it? Since you never know what you will get in some of the ports sometimes, I got 100 of 500-milligram antibiotics for twenty American dollars. In the states they are a dollar or more each. Now that I am back home, the doctor says that I should start taking them, I don’t understand why, unless it has something to do with the dance contest I won with Maria at the Cabo Wabo bar in Cabo that Thursday night. Boy did I show them. Yes, a cool cat can drink twenty double frozen Margaritas with double salt! The bar was so nice to send me to the next port when I missed the boat. Oh, well!
The most memorable part of the trip was to be in the presence of the 350 people who are interested in spiritual movies and to become real buds with my main man Neale. He was such a terrific person to forgive me for putting Margarita number 21 on his shoes. It must have been the salt.

Herb the cat is a freelance writer, who writes for Oracle 20-20 and all the magazines that matter, prefers to watch only wholesome movies and promises never try to drink Margarita number 21 again.
