Kathi: thank you!!
Rich Tatum: It's a typhoon outside now.
Rich Tatum: Raining rats and hogs.
Kathi: really? it's sunny here … we'll probably get it, in a day or two
Kathi: things are insane here … boss needs a smack.
Rich Tatum: Slip him a mickey in his coffee, then duct tape him to his chair, then suspend the chair off a beam from a third floor (or higher) window.
Rich Tatum: That'll set his priorities straight.

Kathi: He'd probably like it.
Rich Tatum: Did I mention you should velcro a cat to his chest first? Make sure all 10 claws are present ….
Rich Tatum: And the cat definitely doesn't get the mickey.
Kathi: <grin> I have the perfect cat for that, too …
Rich Tatum: :-)
