Kickass, the doorstop dog, is working with the keeper in revising the system for not only surviving yet one more gray, middle-of-the-winter day, but actually deriving some pleasure from it.
Heretofore, the keeper’s plan recommended prolonged napping, staying inside the house, warm soup, an occasional toddy, not looking out the window and not thinking evil thoughts about those who are loafing away their lives on warm beaches.
The new plan recommends prolonged napping, staying inside the house, warm soup, more than an occasional toddy, not looking out the window and thinking evil thoughts about those in tropical environs.
The winter survival plan changes are not all that subtle but they are important: we haven’t even done the ground hog thing yet, for god’s sake!!!!
