I like dogs. You always know what a dog is thinking. It has four moods. Happy, sad, cross and concentrating. Also, dogs are faithful and they do not tell lies because they cannot talk.

No newsletter this week because we are welcoming Ruthie-Belle to the household, named in honor of two inspirational women: my Grandma Ruthie—who introduced me to serious reading and writing, and who wielded her red editing pen mercilessly—and the Notorious RBG!
Back to our regular programming next week.
I welcome comments, suggestions, thoughts, feedback and all manner of what-have-you. Just press ‘Reply’ or email to: clippings@katexic.com.
And while you’re still here, why not forward this to a friend?
