OFF LEASH: Counting one's blessings
"Off Leash" is an occasional column by Fiddler.
After glancing back over my previous columns, I realize that I have often used this space to whine about minor annoyances such as garbage men, little dogs, and thunder. Don’t get me wrong -- these things bug me. They really do. However, I do not wish to give the impression that I’m forever kvetching about this or that while overlooking the great joys of life like long evening walks, rolling around in freshly cut grass, or napping on the couch. Of course often I’m forced to sleep on the floor because one or more cats has claimed the couch and will greet my apparently unbearable presence with indignant hissing or outright violence in the form of open-clawed nose-swatting. Hey, it’s a big couch! You can continue to perch snottily at the other end! I don’t care! But oh no, we can’t have that, can we? That’s waaaaaay too much to ask.
Sorry. Kind of lost track of the thesis.
