That Youtube clip is fantastic - I'm not sure it made me more productive but it certainly made me laugh!

Faulty link? Jul 24, 2014

I can't read the article: even when I copy and paste the link, it reverts to the home page

Love the kittens!

I only now, after Tom's virtuous remark, took the time to read my previous post and see a typo that I cannot now correct, because it is more than 24 hours after I posted it. For the record, I DO know the difference between it's and its.... I just posted in haste, didn't proofread and left out the apostrophe. Please don't set Al Yankovic on me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Gv0H-vPoDc).

Cute but... Jul 27, 2014

Those kittens have excellent reflexes and follow the "choreograph" spot-on, but... they were not exactly productive. Still, thank you for the chuckle, Suzan.
