What to do?

I sit in my easy chair in the morning, read the paper, drink my coffee, jot down a To Do list for the day in a handy notebook.

I happen to have a small blackboard, and some days I like to use that.

The flaw in using the blackboard, I found this morning, is the CAT who is attracted to all activity and all things decided to drop down from the back of the chair and lay down on my nice new list.  Ack!
