Cats in the attic

Oh!  I forgot to tell you!

Guess what else I found while purging the attic yesterday?

An idea I had for taking TS Eliot's poem about "Cats" and turning it  into a Tony-winning musical that would eventually  become  a MAJOR motion picture smash during the 2019 holiday season.

It , the script I penned back in 1976 when I was a junior in college, had amazing songs and choreography and jaw-dropping  special effects, and I suggested John Wayne and Katharine Hepburn for the leads, and in my pitch, I got the green light to bring THIS wacko idea to fruition, where  pet felines would  to the movie house and  enjoy freshly-made  catnip while theatergoers enjoyed popcorn

I even suggested that in MY version, the kitties wouldn't use litter boxes..they'd use BIDETS!

It would have made the studio a FORTUNE..

But I was too nervous to go on that flimsy ladder...If only I had gone up there years ago...

I'm going to need a bigger attic.

(And a saner imagination.)

Happy 2020!
