Annabelle is being very frisky this morning.  She got all tangled up in the blinds, knocking everything off the window sill. Then she climbed all over me and the computer.  This is why I think she needs a playmate.

Kind of a blah morning here, today, but there's much to be done.

Second order:  schlepping my sh   stuff back home.

In my experience a playmate won't change this.  There will just be two of them enjoying these activities,  together or one at a time.  Yes at times they will be distracted from you while they entertain each other.  I have been pinned into the bed by multiple cats sleeping on me and woken up by multiple cats scampering over me. 

Yes, having a playmate could be just what Annabelle needs but it might not solve your problem ;)

I've removed the Cat Guy from my list of searches.  I must say in his defense that his email was not as curt as I made it sound, but I think he's a rather possessive - as well as obsessive - cat rescuer who may see all the kittens he's rescuing as his personal property to dispense as he sees fit.

I am more pissed that he did not look at my application until Archie was adopted;  I really wanted that baby.

What exactly is Cindy Edna, DR George?

Cinder Edna (https://www.amazon.com/dp/0688123228/) is a children's illustrated storybook by Ellen Jackson and illustrated by Kevin O'Malley.  It's about Cinderella's next door neighbor who also has an evil stepmother and stepsisters, but instead of wallowing in self-pity and essentially learned helplessness (my description), Edna makes the best of all situations and gets things done on her own. :D

Five years ago, Ted Ryle and a couple of other people got the rights and adapted the children's book into an original stage musical.  Ted's wife is the artistic director and co-founder of Olympia Family Theater.  I ran the sound for that original OFT production.  For the most part, it's a delightfully delightful show.  They're bringing it back in the spring and they had auditions over the last couple of weekends because the music director will be in Hawaii for five months, and they wanted to get the cast set before she left.  I don't know why that mattered...assuming that she'll be back before rehearsals start.  But, that doesn't matter to me.  I was cast in the show and that's all that I care about. ;D

I did a lot of that, Elmore, back in the day. We did it a little differently.

Joshie was by himself in a cage, and I brought him out to be fed on my lap. One day I put the dish on my lap, and he came out and climbed in my lap to be fed. It is the only way they get to eat. It sounds mean, but, hey, he turned out to be a wonderful cat who lived with me for 15 years. He was a little bit older than most of the ones we worked with, and he growled at everyone at adoptions so he was sent home in disgrace. He wanted me.

Yes there's only one Sir Rivington!  Here's his adoption description:
The belly up photo says it all. Sir Rivington, or Riv for short, is a super chill 8-month-old kitty that loves belly rubs and affection. He is wonderfully friendly, outgoing, and well socialized, and his charisma wins over everyone he meets. It doesn't hurt that he's both adorable AND handsome, that winning combination we all strive for but few of us attain gracefully. Riv is a wonderful boy that is good with other animals and would make a super fantastic pet for a very lucky family.

Wait.  I’m confused.  Those two Sir Rivingtons aren’t the same kitty.  Are they?

Yes there's only one Sir Rivington!  Here's his adoption description:
The belly up photo says it all. Sir Rivington, or Riv for short, is a super chill 8-month-old kitty that loves belly rubs and affection. He is wonderfully friendly, outgoing, and well socialized, and his charisma wins over everyone he meets. It doesn't hurt that he's both adorable AND handsome, that winning combination we all strive for but few of us attain gracefully. Riv is a wonderful boy that is good with other animals and would make a super fantastic pet for a very lucky family.

This is a super sweet photo.  Cats that love belly rubs are indeed special.  I hope you get him.

My favorite painting has to be the one we saw at the Phoenix Art Museum on Freedom Day that inspired our newest holiday: The Martyrdom of Saint Lawrence. I don't know the artist.

Back from a good first staging rehearsal.  We roughed out the entire opening of the show, which is quite long, about eight minutes in all - with a lot of people and no temporary stair units to use, we're just guessing at positions now and will adjust as we get the units.  Kay and I were pretty much a team on the opening.  So, tomorrow we review and move on.

There are three male roles, and one might be okay for one.

I think I did well enough, but there were six male auditioners, so there is some competition.

The director wants all the men to come back tomorrow.
