Letter from the College President

“Congratulations! Because you have earned a cumulative grade point average of 3.2 or higher, you may be eligible to apply for a leadership role at our college — the role of Student Ambassador.”

Maybe it’s a sign of how loaded down I feel at the moment, but my first interpretation of this was, “Since you have proven that you are able to do a lot of work, we’d like to offer you some more!”

I’m sure they’ll struggle along without me, somehow.

Is It Friday Yet?

Ya know, when your first thought on getting out of bed is to wish it were Friday, because you’re so tired and you just want the weekend to get here already…

…and then you remember it’s Monday morning

…well, it just doesn’t bode well for your week.

This Is My Chair

phurball on the couch

This is my chair.
Go away and sit somewhere else.
This one is all my own.
It is the only thing in your house that I possess
And insist upon possessing.
Everything else therein is yours.
My dish,
My toys,
My basket,
My scratching post and my Ping-Pong ball;
You provided them for me.
This chair I selected for myself.
I like it,
It suits me,
You have the sofa,
The stuffed chair
And the footstool.
I don’t go and sit on them do I?
Then why cannot you leave me mine,
And let us have no further argument?

– Paul Gallico

I miss my kitty.
