Tea without milk is so uncivilized.

It is the sworn duty of all officers to try to escape. If they cannot escape, then it is their sworn duty to cause the enemy to use an inordinate number of troops to guard them, and their sworn duty to harass the enemy to the best of their ability.

Tessie the Dog spends her afternoons in her crate. Usually, barring any illnesses of Biblical proportions, she handles this with stoic heroism, mostly by sleeping. Monday, however, she greeted me at the door. She had decorated the floor of the dining room using her own home blend. After performing the necessary clean-up, I checked Tessie the Dog’s crate to see how she got the door open. She did not. Instead, she bent the back bars of the crate and squeezed her not-so-supple frame through the opening.

We have taken measures to reinforce the cooler.

I have some small hope that this will prevent further escapes, but I can’t be certain. I suspect she had help from the outside.

If that’s the case, those two will be in the cooler for an awfully long time.

LoGeOMAssMo, Or Beauty Hurts Mr. Vinal

OK, so it’s not as catchy as NaNoWriMo. It doesn’t start on a nice, convenient day like November 1st. There are no forums to read for solidarity. However, considering the declining state of my writing habits, the inclining state of my intellectual struggle, and the reclining state of my ass, today begins Local Get Off My Ass Month.

Tessie the Dog and I are going to start taking walks in the morning. Erin the Girl, Vincent the Computer, and the unnamed bookshelves (they know what they did!) and I are going to start having story times of varying styles, lengths, and intensity. Snacks will become healthier. Floors will become cleaner. Clothes will become folded and hung up. God will be in His andsoforth.

Things are going to, all fortissimo, change around here. Take it from me, kiddo.
