This weekend is going to be the end of my 40% off, $30/year sale. Like the cute pets up there, I can’t hold down this sofa all by myself. If you find my writing pleasing/valuable/worthwhile, and/or you would like me to keep feeding the animals (so the dog continues to look at the cat with affection rather than as a potential food item), please (please!) consider becoming a paid subscriber.
Okay! now that the begging is over (please!), here’s what I published this week.

And again, neighbors, please consider becoming paid subscribers so I can continue scribbling.
