"Curiosity killed the cat, but for a while I was a suspect."
I wish I could take credit for that quote, but it's really the brain work of comedian Stephen Wright. What a great line! I do know I've always been intensely curious, sometimes to a fault (of never getting anything really accomplished because I'm curious upon curious). And, although I've never killed a cat (by curiosity or otherwise), I know I've killed a lot of time. Probably a few brain cells too.
So, along with the price of curiosity comes the demon of procrastination. In which case, maybe the cat wasn't entirely curious. Maybe he was supposed to run after the mouse, his true job, but instead he waddled for the food bowl because he was curiously procrastinating having to run after the mouse. And maybe along the way, he fell down a flight of stairs and concussed (I love the way the noun "concussion" becomes the verb "concussed.). Perhaps curiosity wasn't the villain at all. Maybe it was procrastination all along.
procrastinately yours (yes, I did make up that word),

I love you, Drew Whitney. Hope you're feeling better. I am procrastinating:)
