Monkey Wrench Monday

Rocky here, telling you that poet Robert Burns was right on target when he said, "The best-laid plans of cats and CEOs often go awry." Yessir, ole Bobby hit the nail right on the head, because everything keeps throwing monkey wrenches into my Artsy Catsy plans!

I can't get our humans to stay on target. First, my human artist Sharolyn has been overwhelmed with work she's doing on the websites for Neoteric Hovercraft, the World Hovercraft Organization and especially DiscoverHover. I haven't even been able to blog for days now because she's hogging the computer writing and editing Curriculum Guides for teachers all over the world whose students are building hovercraft. I mean, why is she writing things like "Bernoulli's Principle and the Coanda Effect" and "Newton's Laws of Motion" when there's an Artsy Catsy website still to be written???

We have a Catvisory Board out there ready and willing to help us create our website, but nooooo .... my human artist is too busy writing stuff like "an object at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force" to write emails to our Catvisory Board! Well, let me tell you, I'm an outside force and I'm gonna be acting on her soon to make her get back to Artsy Catsy work!!

And when she's not messing with Laws of Motion, she and Suzanne are messing with those feral kits in our basement. This is the newest one, the fourth (and last one) they've brought into MY house:As you can see, they haven't had much success so far in taming this poor, horrified thing. I think they should let me go down there and have a talk with it. As a former feral myself, I think I'd have much better luck taming those kittens than somehuman who spends her time immersed in the laws of physics! She's probably reasoning with the poor babies by explaining kinetic and potential energy to them!

I'm ready to give up on these Artsy Catsy humans as totally useless. In fact, I think I'll just practice some physics myself and spend the rest of Monkey Wrench Monday illustrating how "an object at rest tends to stay at rest" ...
