Kickass and Shortest Day

Kickass, the doorstop dog, reports the keeper and Phyllis greeting this shortest day of the year with unbound enthusiasm and by withdrawing their names from the great “transfer portal.” 

It is their shared conviction that continuing to play on the current team with its incoming clown coaching staff is not only their duty but their privilege and they look forward to joining everyone else in punting until the ball changes hands.

(Note to writers: A sports metaphor comes with the risk of overuse in that the keeper might have continued with his to include “Musk Win” and “Billionaire huddles” but long experience with metaphors has taught him restraint.)

Happy Winter Solstice from the keeper and Phyllis, both of whom are way ahead in the game but in no way anxious to run out the clock!
