CONFESSION! I'm impulsive, easily swayed and have too little self-discipline. Your notes, Julie, and the enthusiastic comments by others - plus the 11th-hour deadline by the Nicholl Competition (plus the fact that it's from the Academy, which is more likely to be Kosher) prompted me to submit a screenplay to this competition. If I win anything I'll ask you to meet me at a lovely restaurant along the boardwalk between Jaffa and Tel Aviv. I walked the entire boardwalk on a warm November day in 07 and befriended a number of very special cats and kittens along the way. You have an interesting breed there, rather petite, and quite likely direct descendants of the sacred cat Goddess worshiped by the Pharaohs in Egypt's saner days.
That's great, Andrew! Good luck! Nicholl is quite prestigious! I LOVE the kitties here! So many. And they are feral. Israel has a huge problem with feral cats. There are over 50,000 in Jerusalem alone. Actually the cats here are mostly descended from cats the British brought here during the mandate!
