About the meaning of the motto 'Touch not a cat but a glove"

[Jock Scot]

Good to see your smiling voice, too, Jock. I missed you this summer. You were in the south for much of it, I think.

Yes, I am afraid that events conspired against me and kept me down south for far too long. I did manage to snatch a couple of all too brief visits back north though.
