The Burden of Choice
A tiny kitten lays weak on the cat bed on our porch. One eye matted closed, s/he still sees me with the other. A week ago s/he would scramble away and disappear. Now s/he just lays there accepting whatever fate awaits. The energy to run is simply not there.

My Pal Alpha Gal = No Mammal Meat for Me AnymoreTop Story - September 2021
Me + tick bites = haywire immunity system. It was an unintentional and undesired union. I still find it hard to believe that something that has plagued me randomly for 50 years finally has a name. That outcome accomplished only after it damned near killed me.

The Curious Arturious Rex Aurelias
Hey my little man, look at you all grown old. Seems like only yesterday you were the tiny odd ball in your litter that I latched onto immediately. I gave you a name bigger than yourself, Arturius Rex Aurelius but I called you Rex. You have been my King for fourteen years now.

Secrets Between Siblings - The Broken Ashtray
Sibling Conspiracy I have three brothers. One brother is fifteen months younger than me, the other two are identical twins born three years after me. I'm hazarding a guess that same as with any other siblings, we have secrets that only the four of us know. But I'm going to step from behind the veil and share with you one of our secrets that we've kept from everyone else but us. It's been close to fifty years since it occurred so we no longer have any punishment to fear. In fact, I think when I share this story with my brothers, we'll all have a hearty laugh. However, for our Mother, who is turning eighty-two next month, it will be coming clean after all these years, letting her know she wasn't the guilty party in this caper like she thought she was.

Where does our concepts of "sexy" come from?
What makes us feel sexy and why? Is it a pose? An outfit? Behavior/mannerism? Certainly, the definition of sexy is going to be subjective. It will be different for every person based on their filters, life experiences and preferences.
