Another cross-functional collaboration with my co-editor.

"What's that smell?" "Don't know. Can't quite see it."

I'm proud and happy that the awesomely cool new-ish journal @flightlit.bsky.social accepted the submission of my helpful instruction manual "Disemployment Guidelines," which will be published in August. Here is a photo of a kitten in a sink.

Sometimes you visit your local dive bar for lunch and the Daily Special is "low expectations topped with disappointment". Today, lemon garbanzo chicken soup done in a Greek style. Delicious. Also had a patty melt that caused mini-strokes between bites, so at least I got enough cholesterol & sat fat.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL

Axl, Cookie, and my editor Midget hope you're staying warm enough, even if it means you have to cuddle with someone outside of your own species.

Axl the black cat and Cookie the black dog may look like twins but they're not.

Axl the black cat and Cookie the black dog dare you to suggest their love for each other is wrong.

Midget is a handsome gray, white, and tan tabby cat who is also a talented editor and doesn't mind making this writer's legs and/or butt fall asleep whenever necessary.

Went to my doctor this morning for a routine checkup. Lab had lost my test results & a big scramble ensued. While I waited, the printout arrived. It was for a guy who lived in Maryland, not Ohio. Argued with my MD & his staff until they conceded the results weren't mine. Customer service isn't dead.

Your satisfaction is our highest priority, jackass. Now get lost!

"Yes, sweet Axl, prior to the rising temperatures and dwindling oceans of the 2020s, a cute kitten such as yourself could've caught real fish! Truly! Honor their memory. And thank our good and generous Overlord Roku for allowing us these digital glimpses of the past!"

I can't talk to you right now. Just got back from my vacation in Tennessee and I'm planning my next trip there, which I hope will be soon.

(29 of 29) ...so for all of these stated reasons, our new kitten Axl is undergoing ball-removal surgery tomorrow. Say bye-bye to his soon-to-be unrealized dreams of tomcat supremacy.

Did you say something?

I put a lot of thought into what my first post here would be. By "a lot of thought," I mean no thought whatsoever. So. Only the finest flea market restrooms feature high-level co-marketing. It's an elevated shopping experience.
