The kids across the hall are still at work, and neither upstairs neighbor can hear anything.

Watching the start of Harlem Nights, a movie produced, written and directed by, and starring Eddie Murphy.

Richard Pryor is wonderful.

Finally I call the manager's office to see if he can call the neighbor, but he doesn't answer the phone.

The kitty who has been climbing all over me and my scooter finally gives up interest that I am going to open the door, and heads outside.

I never do hear back from the message I left the manager, so who knows if anything is going to be done about the damn kitty.

I don't blame the kitty.  It is 34 degrees outside, I would want to go into a warm apartment rather than stay outside.

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

So, I get back from lunch 2 1/2 hours later, and get to my door and there is hell kitty ready to go back in my apartment.

I like the name Hell Kitty.


Yup 😁

Poor Kitty.  Too bad Nicky doesn't like Hell Kitty.

DR TCB,  I do hope the people can be made to understand the danger to you and that they need to keep their cat inside during the winter.

For all you hot chocolate lovers, this recipe came in today's emails:


Icelandic Hot Chocolate

1 ˝ part Reyka Vodka

6 part of Hot Chocolate (Swiss Miss)

ľ part Ancho Reyes

1 dash of Angostura Bitters

 

Glass: Hot Toddy Glass or Styrofoam Cup

Garnish: Mini Marshmallows or whip cream

Method: Build ingredients in cup

 

This is just all wrong to me, including Swiss Miss  :P

In a happy happenstance, I'd miscalculated the number of pages written and I was actually finished :)  But I wrote another page just because I could and I'm always inspired after a hot shower.

Listening to my beloved Ravel - his music never gets old no matter how much you listen to it.  If you don't know it, you really need to.

Especially his Valses Nobles et Sentimentales.  It's one of my all-time favorite pieces of music EVER and was clearly an inspiration for Mr. Sondheim in the writing of A Little Night Music.  I recently got a performance of it conducted by Pierre Boulez that's pretty terrific and it has the famous piano concerto in G, too.  Great CD with great sound.  I have also always enjoyed Charles Munch's performance on RCA - that CD was always considered an audiophile's dream - maybe one day it will be an SACD.  All of Mr. Munch's other Ravel on RCA have been put on SACD and they're incredible, especially the complete Daphnes and Chloe.

I'm home from the parents' house, have watched tonight's episode of "Emerald City," and have caught up with all the posts.  And now...
