You know, talking about cats gives me every excuse to tell 'cute kid' stories.
Good news on the theater front, I just got into one of my favorite festivals with 'Heartbreak Hill'. It's in January, Ymo and billy. I'm just saying. I can't give anymore details yet because I'm not supposed to say anything until all the playwrights have been notified, so please, don't get me in trouble.

Its a hugely complicated deal that doesn't make much sense to me. Sam Zell convinved the trustees of the ESOP for the The Tribune Company that it would be a good idea to borrow $8+ billion dollars to buy a stake in the company. Ultimately, the ESOP ended up buying 100% of the stock with borrowed money and Zell will chip in $315 million(much of it a loan) that will give him the right to control 40% of the company. Much of the employee's future is being gambled on the success of the company. A huge risk given everything that has been happening and the now $13 billion debt that the company has to service. One day, there will be lawsuits over this...
I figure the ESOP will come to its senses one day and sue whomever gave them the advice to pursue the deal...
Oh, ESOP = Employee Stock Ownership Plan

All this cat talk sent the thread to the bottom of page 1. Sacre Bleu!
Let's talk about dogs. Dogs are superior pets to cats in every way. If you want a companion, get a dog. If you want a feral beast living in your midst, get a cat.
My puppy has started running with me. She loves to run! The vet tells me she shouldn't go on long runs until she's 1 year old. So we go for short runs, ~20 minutes. She's a tough training partner. At random intervals she likes to sprint.
Dogs are great! My dog is the best!
My dogs pushed me out of bed this morning. My cat won't do that, he knows I'm the reason the bed is warm.
My dog likes to preempt the alarm clock. She starts licking my face and pawing me 2 to 3 minutes before the alarm.
This morning, she couldn't because she was stuck under the bed.
She likes to sleep under the bed. As she's been growing, we anticipated the day would come when she got stuck. Today was that day. Now we'll see how many more times she gets stuck before she stops going under there.
We've trained our dog since puppyhood that our absurdly late sleep cycles are to be respected. He sleeps in our room, but he would never have the gall to wake us up. On some days, that means sleeping in till 10 or 11.
He's a good dog.
So says the Onion: Like Boxes Of [Crap] In Your House? Get A Cat.
Dog owners always gotta be hating on the cat owners. Why dat?
HAHAHA. For the record... Mr. T loves kittens, not puppies.
I can understand why some people don't like cats or dogs, or even why some people don't like animals at all. But I've never understood the need to talk about it. It's been my experience that dog lovers are more likely to comment negatively on cats than vice versa.
Anyone else notice this or do I just need to have another cup of coffee, or a glass of wine?
