I have a cat. I have never wanted to have a cat, but I do have one. He is a living consolation prize; a reminder of a time when my wife and I wanted a dog and lived in a dog-free zone. But here’s the funny part: the cat is soul-bonded to me. Imprinted. I’m […]

An Exercise in Hostility
The Chicago White Sox and the Seattle Mariners played a baseball game last night. At least, that’s what the box score would tell you. What actually took place was something much weirder, and much more nefarious. By the time Tuesday’s series opener in Chicago wrapped up, we already knew that Wednesday’s storyline would revolve around […]

A Much-Deserved Reward
I politely remind my daughter to eat her dinner. It is five microwaved dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets, and a handful of grapes. It is what she requested.
