Wisconsin Animals
Do you ever see wild animals? I live in the middle of town in South Central Wisconsin. We have a lot of squirrels and rabbits. Our whole city has a diverse population of wild birds from sparrows and robins to hawks and bald eagles. On the edges of town we also have wild turkey and…

Pet Peeves
Name your top three pet peeves. My three pet peeves are repetition, repetition, and repetition. Just kidding. My biggest pet peeve is bureaucracy. People don’t need a ten page Terms of Service. We do not need a packet of paperwork every time we get a medication refill. We don’t need an owners manual for TVs…

Our Cat
What are your favorite animals? I am not good with animals. I never have been. I just don’t have animal ken in my repertoire. The sole exception to that has been our current cat Magic. She’s adorable and we get along very well. Granted I don’t speak kitty, and that makes a little trouble in…

I got about eight hours of sleep despite being up very late. I’ve got a small headache but otherwise feel pretty good. Yesterday was a weird day which is usually good or at least feels good. But I am a firm believer in unintended consequences, so just because it feels good doesn’t mean it is…

Magic
What is good about having a pet? Our cat is magic. I have never been good with pets but she and I get along fabulously. I give her treats and play with her. She’s gotten chubby since we rescued her. When she whines for food it makes me think about what I’ve eaten and whether…

Dancing Shoes
What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever found (and kept)? When I was in my twenties I found a pair of black dress shoes. I don’t remember exactly where, but I think I found them rather than buying them or getting them as a gift. They were a little worn at the time. They were also…
