The Gathering: I let Scamp and Scooter out into the rest of the house. I’d removed their collars. I get back home after lunch and discover Scamp is back in the isolation room and is again wearing her collar. I take the collar off and she proceeds to push her head back into it. Silly kitten. #cat

Last night, I decided I want to rewrite a first draft I wrote years ago. It was a great idea that I executed poorly and knew it even then. I put it on a shelf and my backburner. Now, I think I have the ability to do it justice. It’s a satire that will probably upset a lot of people. #writing #satire
