March 2nd is the 52nd birthday of the publication of that
wonderful book.
And it marks the 104th birthday of its author
Theodor Seuss Geisel. Born March 2, 1904. Died September 24,
1991.
Who was a close friend and a drinking buddy of Raymond
Chandler.
They lived near each other in La Jolla, California, which is
a ritzy suburb just north of San Diego.
Imagine the Cat in the Hat bumping whisky classes with Philip
Marlowe.
What?
Did you never think of Dr. Seuss being a heavy drinker? Have
you never read his books?
Green Eggs and Ham?
That was for Saint Patrick's Day.
(I made that up.)
