Imagination Prompt: Needs A Nap
I rotated through so many imagination prompts on the generator in search of a “Q” prompt that the generator said, “Imagination Prompt Generator needs a nap.” What better way to say, “I quit!”

House Update: Prepared
We had another quiet month around the property. Last month, we prepared to hold a yard sale in the shop. This month, we held the sale. Would have liked for a few more items to find new homes, but the items that did find new homes seemed to please their … Continue reading →
Polar Bears
I have been fascinated with polar bears since high school. I did my advanced biology paper and presentation on polar bears. I’ve been a sucker for them ever since. I collect life-like figurines of polar bears. I have studied their habitat and lifestyle. I have a fictional polar bear character … Continue reading →
Oppositional
In my younger years, I had my moments when I behaved in ways I’ll choose to call “oppositional.” I took my mom’s “If your friends jumped off a bridge, would you jump off a bridge after them” statement to heart. I actively tried to not go along with the crowd. … Continue reading →

Monkeys
You probably would never know it now, but when I was a kid (pre-ten), I was bonkers for monkeys. I was serious in my request to have one for a pet. Alas, I was to be perennially disappointed in that quest. My parents did the best they could though, and … Continue reading →
Cats: Lost?
It just seems that way. We’ve been troubled about Rossie’s reluctance to assimilate with us. She likes to be near us for a good part of the day, but she doesn’t like to be handled. From day-to-day, this is not a problem. We’re perfectly willing to respect her preference. It … Continue reading →
