From Gregory Stock’s The Book of Questions: For $50,000, would you put to sleep a healthy pet you love? How much more or less money would it take to change your answer? Now, I know what some of you might be thinking: "50 grand? That's a lot of kibble!" But hold your horses (or cats, or hamsters) … Continue reading Question of the Week #406

Twenty Two – Bloganuary
Welcome to Bloganuary. It’s this thing that WordPress is doing to encourage bloggers to post something every day by providing a regular prompt. I think that “Bloguary” would not only sound better but makes more sense. Maybe they’re saving that for next month. But if they go with Blogebruary I’m dropping out. Anyway, today’s prompt … Continue reading Twenty Two – Bloganuary

Let me … Continue reading A Dog and the Idiot Holding the Leash
A to Z Challenge – Krypto
Welcome to the 2021 A to Z Challenge! My theme this year is DC Comics. And that’s mostly because of my undying affection for the comic book characters and stories that I grew up reading in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s.
