Ok, it is actually still the 8th but since I can play with blog time versus
the real world in a slip synch rubber band way, it makes no real difference
when I write and it gives me the feeling of being ahead of the game to believe
I it matters. I just got home from the Pollstar Awards and other than the chatting
with a few humans that I truly like, like the GoldenVoice crew, Paul and Dave
from JBL and Stuart Ross who is a bit on a mentor to me from way back, I must
admit that with a few exceptions, the Mcdonalds' of the entertainment world
has once again won 'the best coffee in America' awards in every category, hurray,
oh joy!
So on we move and back to the cats. Oh, have I mentioned that I love fuzzy
critters? Though I do not have any that I keep in my home anymore, I do love
the furry friends and sharing my space with them is something I actually quite
enjoy but unfortunately the fact that they seem to lack long term food management
skills makes pets a bit incompatible with my tour schedule. "Ok, fang (I
used to name all my pets fang), here is three weeks of food, the tuna snacks
are over here, chicken is in the middle and there are assorted dry foods over
here in these bags, just open the bags as you need them so everything stays
nice and crunchy. Don't scratch the couch, please poo in the toilet, be sure
to flush and I put my cell number on speed dial so call me if anything goes
awry, kiss kiss, hug hug and I will see you in three weeks. Oh and don't forget
to feed the rats and make sure their water bottle is full with fresh water."
Unfortunately my confidence in the outcome of this strategy is less than huge.
I guess if I kept a female human in the house to tend to the pets that I don't
currently keep, this could be solved but .... ooooooh, that brings a whole new
set of dynamics. Stepping sideways of that subject...
Sooooo
The coffee cat video I posted brought some interesting reactions from my bloggery
friends ranging from smiles to disdain. From my perspective it puzzles me to
think that anyone would derive an ill will or careless disregard in interpreting
my intentions or actions, though I do respect the variety of opinions. So I
think that perhaps a bit more depth on the subject may be in order, so here
is another related video clip and I am honored to introduce coffee cat (actual
name is Coffee Bean) and her three siblings to offer a bit more of the story
-
I don't know why her particular feline affinity for java existed, I just know
that it did and in small bits, who am I to deny a friendly furry friend a bit
of pleasure? As far as the eventual outcome, to be honest, I went on tour and
I am not sure if she was eaten by a coyote or passed onto a friend to to take
care of. What I do know is that while our lives crossed paths, there was no
gap in the mutual joy.
