I want to talk about AI, so naturally that required a lot of research into cow cannulation.
Maybe you were thinking you could write a hundred articles about AI without ever even using the word ‘cow.” And to that I say, nobody likes a show-off.

Like most people lately, I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about feet.
If you haven’t been spending a lot of time thinking about feet, I bet you would be happier if you had rather than whatever you have been thinking about.
It really started last winter. I had walked a short way on an errand. On my return trip, I noticed the footprints I had left in the light snow. I found them quite upsetting. I took a picture of them.
Brace yourself.

As a rule, I don’t watch nature shows. They all have the same plot. This is how every single one goes:
(Footage of an adorable newborn seal)
Announcer: Here we see a baby seal. Young, wide-eyed, and innocent, it looks so happy just to be alive. Continue reading “When Animals Align”
I think when you find yourself reading a full, legal warranty, it’s safe to say you’ve got too much time on your hands.
On the other hand, I discovered that warranties can make for a thrilling read, full of unexpected twists and turns. For example, the one I was reading was a store add-on warranty for furniture purchases.
On the surface it may sound dull. However, included early-on in the coverage explanation was this sentence:
“Complete stain coverage for stains including (but not limited to): Food, beverage, and/or human bodily fluids.”
They had my full and undivided attention at that point. Continue reading “I Read the Warranty and My Life Will Never Be the Same”
For those of you who don’t recall last week’s post, let me re-set the scene:
Many, many years ago in February, before the Caronapocalypse, I was at my friends’ very grown-up dinner party. While eating a mango as a “dessert” (I don’t get it either), I suddenly realized that I might be allergic to mango as my throat began to burn and tingle. Continue reading “The Dark Side of Death by Mango”
Prologue:
I was going through some old writing and I stumbled upon this gem. It’s crazy to look back and see how different I was and how different the world was. This is from almost a month ago. It’s called: “The Complete Guide to Dying Politely While at a Dinner Party.” I promise it has nothing to do with corona virus. Continue reading “The Mango-cidal Dinner Party”
Many, many years ago in my writing career, I wrote an article for a mommy-blog. Why? I don’t really remember why. I must have had a reason. More than likely that reason was too much free time.
Anyway, the mommy-blog that originally posted my article is no longer in operation. I now suspect this particular mommy-blog, like most mommy-blogs today, was really a front for some sort of illegal, international, sheep-cloning syndicate. Continue reading “Attack of the Babies!”
I just got the weirdest thing in the mail.
I don’t remember even ordering an accordion, let alone…whatever that is.
Also, I got a credit card offer. That was unusual, too.
Now, you may not think a credit card offer is unusual. You may get them all the time. You, with your fancy job that requires you to actually leave your house (exposing yourself to dangerous things like UV rays and human interaction) Continue reading “Strange Offer”
I know what you’re thinking: “When you didn’t post anything for months, even about your dog, we assumed you were dead.”
And yet none of you sent flowers to my widow. Tacky.
Not that I’m married.
Or dead.
Or like flowers.
But it’s the thought of an unliked gift to a non-existant spouse of someone you mistakenly thought was deceased that counts. Continue reading “Changes to the Status Quo”
