Okay, clearly I don't know my Hemingway and/or I missed another pertinent thread, because I have no clue what a Hemingway cat is.

Hints?

I think it's a cat with an extra toe. Terez, whew, I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't get the reference. This one had seven toes on each front foot. They got their name because Hemingway had so many cats, and half of them had extra toes. I always thought of them as "polydactylic." Shows what being married to a biologist will do for you, instead of to a lit major. Aren't you glad it wasn't because the cat blew its head off with a shotgun. Though with that extra toe, it's easier to reach. Even though you spent four hours working and got only two minutes of usable film, I'll bet that those two minutes were great. Consider all you've learned from this and how much easier it will be next time. Yeah... now you know where the power outlet is. :)

It sounds like a nice time, though, even if you didn't get as much footage as you wanted. A lovely day's adventure.

I wasn't disappointed at all. As my friend said, "Two minutes is a lot of footage!" It's a lot if they're paying by the linear foot. Those Hollywood slickers will probably say they meant the cubic foot.
