Anyone have thoughts on the subject of Bailey's vs. Godiva Liqueur?

I would have to have a few side by side samples in order to form a more scientifically informed opinion.

Of course, Nicky has now spotted the kitty and is freaking out.

Topic of the Day: right now, I'm listening to Little Fish. I'm not loving it...not hating it, either.

I liked Alice Ripley and I liked some of the score. but it's not my favorite LaChiusa score.

I try to get to the kitty and he takes off.

So, now, the chase is on.

TCB · « **Reply #96 on:** January 13, 2017, 09:21:45 PM »

The kitty takes off behind the sofa.

TCB · « **Reply #97 on:** January 13, 2017, 09:22:33 PM »

I manage to get Nicky into the bedroom and close the door, since the front door is wide open.

TCB · « **Reply #98 on:** January 13, 2017, 09:23:55 PM »

I am now half crawling, half stumbling around the living room hoping I can chase the kitty out the door.

This kitty is not dumb. He knows he can outsmart the crippled guy.

The kitty is avoiding me and avoiding the open front door.

Fortunately for me, the kitty discovers the catnip that I sprinkled on the carpet for Nick.

I just spoke to Joshie. He and Rob had the orchestra playthru for Big River today. I wanted to go, but I do not particularly like the orchestrator Danny Troob, and this was his day. I think Troob's work is usually excellent, but I don't we once worked on a recording together and , while I was looking forward to meeting him, he was completely unfriendly ad unsocial. I'll go to the sitzprobe next month and see the Saturday matinee of the show and try to avoid him. That's plenty.

Tomorrow , Joshie and some friends leave for a well-deserved vacation in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. I will miss him, but this gives me a week to deal with taxes and Guys & Dolls.

I remember Danny from way back in the day when he was composing a show call "All Bets Off" with Jamie Donnelly. He was very shy and I think he'd rather compose than orchestrate, but them's the breaks, as William Shakespeare used to say. I think his work on Big River is excellent and I liked some his work for Disney. But I really disliked his work on Cinderella.

He is now hooked on catnip.

I grab the damn kitty, and all four claws dig into the carpet.

Crown vibes for Vixmom!

I pry his claws out of the carpet and struggle to get to the front door.

Loving the kitty story, TCB.

Great avatar, Jane!

I make it to the door, and manage to resist the urge to throw the cat across the hall.

TCB · « **Reply #110 on:** January 13, 2017, 09:34:34 PM »

I have no way to call the people upstairs, and the old lady obviously prefers to have the cat outside rather than inside.
