That Time Of The Year

This is a photo from 1961 for a black cat audition (Alfred Hitchcock).  I am mindful of Syd this time of year (Halloween) and only let him out when I am going to be home.  The night before A Day Of The Arts show (March 2013), I got a text message "I am coming for Syd, and I am going to bomb your house".  It was hard to go to the show.  I worried the whole time I was gone.  There are lots of people out there who love black cats, and there are lots of people who hate black cats and are superstitious of them.  I am not taking any chances.  Had Syd been around in 1961, I feel confident, he would have been picked for this movie.
