Stanger in the Night

Saturday night was strange for a lot of reasons, not the least of which was the big, bright, full moon hanging in the clear sky.  One of my customers told me about a former coworker of his, a psychiatrist, who believed the full moon affected people as well as the oceans.  After all, the moon's pull was strong enough to affect the ocean tides, why would it not also affect our bodies and minds which are made of mostly water?  I would tend to agree with him, especially after an evening waging battle against a seeming horde of howling mad Murdock's out and about to bay at the big moon in the sky.  I did manage to make it home with my sanity somewhat intact, but just barely!  

Once I got home, I was sitting on my patio after supper talking with Will when a stranger hopped up on my patio fence then jumped down into my patio to investigate the surroundings.  

Apparently Kitty liked what he found and it seems I (or at least my patio) have been adopted.   Kitty seemed quite content to meander around the patio before finally ensconcing himself in my chair for a little nap.

He left after a while, however he did come back in the light of day to once again take up residence in my chair for his afternoon siesta.  I have so far avoided feeding him as I do not want to incur a $300 pet deposit, but I am perfectly willing to allow Kitty liberal visitation privileges!

Now just in time for an Monday Morning excuse to call into work saying you can't make it is this little photo:

This week your Monday with Mozart features an HD Soundtrack Mix from the film Amadeus.  Amadeus is a 1984 period drama film directed by Miloš Forman and written by Peter Shaffer. Adapted from Shaffer's stage play Amadeus (1979), the story is a variation of Alexander Pushkin's play Mozart i Salieri (Моцарт и Сальери, 1830), in which the composer Antonio Salieri recognizes the genius of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart but thwarts him out of pride and envy. The story is set in Vienna, Austria, during the latter half of the 18th century.

The film was nominated for 53 awards and received 40, including eight Academy Awards (including Best Picture), four BAFTA Awards, four Golden Globes, and a Directors Guild of America (DGA) award.  The film introduced millions of folks to the joys of classical music for the first time.  The film starred Tom Hulse as Mozart, F. Murray Abraham as Salieri and the actor who portrayed the Principal in Ferris Beuhler's Day Off as the Emperor of Austria.  The complete play list can be found here.  You may also hear a classic 1959 recording of Mozart's Piano Concerto in C Major with a performance by the SAAR Radio Chamber Orchestra conducted by Karl Ristenpart featuring Robert Veyron-Lacroix as the Piano Soloist over on my tumblr.

Following today's play list is a scrumptious selection of delectable dudes lounging about the page in their Monday's Undies for your visual appreciation.  You may also see 'Orange Smoothie', Your Hottie of the Day! over on my tumblr.  Thanks for sharing part of your Monday with me, see you again soon.  Until next time as always, Enjoy!
