COVID Cat by Vaughn Stelzenmuller
COVID Cat by Vaughn Stelzenmuller
“Pet a cat when you encounter one on the street,” commands author Jordan B. Peterson. So yesterday wouldn’t you know, walking along and minding my own bid’ness, here comes a fuzzy gray feline, trotting deliberately my direction, meowing and wanting some human pats. Normally a great thing to do, but what does a cat know these days about virus-fur contact! What the heck, this cute little girl-cat did a few cat neck-curls and tail circles, and so she earned some neck scratches and head noogies from me. Right hand only.
“Keep that virus contact limited. No touching eyes, mouth, nose, ears, or wallet,” say the Virus Expert Crowd. After a few scratches and nice cat words, the cute cat turned around and trotted just as deliberately back home, her job done.

The year gap alongside the difference in culture alone should have made things complicated enough. But still, the story took the reader that extra mile, letting you know that the body could swap personalities at any time.

Making Lemonade out of your Lemons by Jonathan Floyd
We all have frustrations in life.
As a teacher and school counselor, I encountered many frustrations in the course of my career.
Over the years, I watched SAT scores decline. I saw students making atrocious grammatical errors on college application essays. In the teacher’s lounge, I was deluged with complaints about students plagiarizing on assignments. I watched students graduate high school who could barely read.
Don’t get me wrong. I also encountered many intelligent, highly motivated students who made me proud every day I went to work. A healthy majority of students I worked with ended up being doctors, lawyers, nurses, engineers, educators, entrepreneurs, contractors, corporate managers, technicians, etc.
