Why oh why do you not want me to blog?
Does it make you uncomfortable in any way?
Does it make your fur feel funny?
Do you wish to critique perhaps?
Or maybe dust off my keyboard?
I need to write and publish my ideas and thoughts to the world yet you prevent me from doing so.

Today is a very important day for my dear lady. I can’t say what it is since it’s a personal matter but I’d appreciate it if anyone who stops by and reads this would send this marvelous woman all your good thoughts. I’ll take this down once her day is over.
