Around 4:00am I got up to use the bathroom and stepped into a pile of cat vomit on one of the litter mats.  I have no idea which one is responsible, but I suspect Thatch, since he eats anything and continuously.  When I empty the litter this morning, I'll scrub the mat.

Larry, cats vomit...and somewhat regularly.  It doesn't necessarily mean that they're sick.  I don't worry about my cat vomiting because I know it'll happen again, and again, and again, ad nauseum (literally). ;)

So, so true....and you will likely step in it again ;D

Now I can't get The Manhattan Transfer "Twilight Zone" song out of my head.

(it has a favorite fake rhyme: Unpretentious / girl from Memphis )

And now my anal retentiveness must rear its ugly head:  the full song is called "Twilight Zone/Twilight Tone."  First, they do a  variation on the Seasons 4 & 5 intro to The Twilight Zone:

Spoken:
With a key, you unlock a door to imagination
Beyond it is another dimension
A dimension of sight
A dimension of sound
A dimension of mind

You're moving through a land of both shadow and substance
Of things and ideas
Guiding you through this wondrous journey
Is the hypnotic sound of the twilight tone


And then the song proper is actually called "Twilight Tone":

When I hear this melody
This strange illusion takes over me
Through a tunnel of the mind
Perhaps a present or future time, oh oh

Out of nowhere comes this sound
This melody that keeps spinning 'round and 'round
Pyramidal locomotion
From a mystic unknown zone

Hearin' the twilight
Hearin' the twilight, twilight tone

Unpretentious girl from Memphis
Saw the future through her third eye
People came with skepticism
Picking, testing her precision, no, wo, oh, oh

Suddenly they heard this sound
This melody that keeps spinning 'round and 'round
A signpost up ahead is calling
Through the mystic unknown zone

Hearin' the twilight
(Twilight swept away, feelin' the rhythm)
Hearin' the twilight
(Twilight swept away, ba da, loo da, ba da loo da)
Hearin' the twilight, twilight tone

Hearin' the twilight
(Twilight swept away, feelin' the rhythm)
Hearin' the twilight
(Twilight swept away, ba da, loo da, ba da loo da)
Hearin' the twilight, twilight tone


Spoken:
Submitted for your approval
One Mr. Miller, who's about to take a trip
Into oddness and obsolescence
Through a zone whose boundaries are that of imagination
Accompanying him on this journey is the mesmerizing
Sound of the twilight tone


Sung:
On a cold and rainy night
One Mister Miller had a rare flight
Glen was up there boppin' a rhythm
Then the engine stopped to listen with him play that beat, oh, oh

Suddenly he heard this sound
This melody that keeps spinning 'round and 'round
Now, he resides and plays trombone
In the mystic unknown zone

Hearin' the twilight
(Hearin' the twilight)
Hearin' the twilight
(Hearin' the twilight)....

But I think it's great that you thought of that, Fred.  I don't know if I've mentioned it, but I LOVE The Manhattan Transfer!

:D

DR George, darn on not finding yourself in the background.

Thanks, Jane.  I'm disappointed...but it's not the end of the world. ;)

My nephew Herman was featured soloist with an orchestra for the first time last night. He performed Mozart’s Third Concerto for Horn with the University of Kentucky Philharmonia. Name listed on the poster. My sister Annaliese says he was nervous but performed well.

Congrats to nephew Herman!

I've had Annabelle six months and Thatch for five months, and as far as I know, this is the first time it's happened.  I remember my Siamese often hacked up a furr ball, but I don't recall much vomiting in the 16-18 years she was alive.

Now, if one has to get e-mails, this is the kind I like - from my friend Kay Cole, who just finished GEE.  I removed a spoiler - just a line but I know there may be one or two who haven't finished yet:

Oh My Goodness……..

This is by far the best book you have ever written.

I could not stop crying…LOVED IT ..LOVED IT.


Just amazing visually and viscerally..

Such heart ..  so poetic.

I am proud of you and for you..
Love you,
Kay

Well, I finally get to leave work.  It's my niece's birthday and everyone is at my sister's house (and has been since 4:00!), but I've been in a meeting since 1:00 pm. :P But no more!

Be back later!

Today I showed a friend how to get downtown from her house for jury duty. She lives so very far away and doesn't drive on freeways or downtown. I showed her how to get to a light rail station to take the train downtown. And then where to go.

Cast for the May Kritzerland is finally set - Karen Morrow is one guest - she's going to reminisce about Grass Harp since we just put that out.  And in the fun department, our other guest is Don Most (formerly Donny Most) from Happy Days - we've been trying to work this out for a while and May did the trick.

Those difficulties would not get her out of jury duty.  She is lucky you could show her a simple way.  How long will it take her?  I didn't even know you had a train there.
