Cat, Two
My cat know what he wants. I fight him for my chair. He meows and carries on when he wants to be fed in the morning. He sneaks into my office to sleep on my other chair. He gets a bedtime snack, so we can go to bed in peace. I will be watching the… Continue reading

Cat’s Life
My cat has it made. After a good meal, he basks in the sun by the patio door. He lies on his back, tucks his front paws in across his chest. He a long hair, a big fur ball stretched out, sleeping easy on a soft door mat. He nuzzles his chin into his paws… Continue reading

Guilty Pleasure
Staying healthy means a good diet, like go easy on the booze, avoid dairy, small portions of read meat, avoid fats and sugars. Eat lots of grass–I mean, vegetables. I need to lose weight and I try to eat healthy, but I have a guilty pleasure: Chocolate, specifically, M&Ms. It’s deceiving, each one is so… Continue reading

Habit of Seclusion
Since Covid, I have developed the habit of staying home. Traveling is not something I plan anymore. I imagine the daily prompt is not talking about plans to go to the grocery or hardware store. If so, I would have lots of plans. I have gone out of state a few times, to go to… Continue reading

Instant Media
This is the age where so much is available instantly, streaming content, cable news, messaging services, etc. When I was a kid if I didn’t see a movie in the theater, I would have to wait 2 to 3 years to see it on television.

Sounds

The Worst Thing
My comfort food is chocolate. When I was a kid my mother always made a birthday cake with chocolate frosting. On Halloween, Hershey’s chocolate bars were always my favorite. We always had a bottle of chocolate syrup in the house, to put on ice cream, root beer floats and in milk. M&Ms are my greatest… Continue reading

Risk
Risk is most fun when there are maximum players of six. The goal is simple, take over the world. There a few winning strategies, but the outcomes are always unpredictable, based somewhat on chance. It’s fun when players make alliances to survive or concentrate their forces. The politics are the most interesting. I have fond… Continue reading

Being Picky
I saw this daily prompt and had a funny reaction, that is, I don’t make food. I can’t make fruits or vegetables, only grow them. I don’t make dishes; I prepare them. But of course, preparing a dish is like assembly; the ingredients are gathered and put together for a meal. Many things that are… Continue reading

Both
I’ve had both cats and dogs. It’s hard to pick. My first dog was Otto, a dachshund, who didn’t like salesmen. He bit one in the leg. My sisters tried to get me to like cats. When one was a kitten he climbed all over my face, keeping me up all night. We got our… Continue reading
