I just did something dangerous.
It was even more risky than riding my old Bontrager Race Lite with a Rock Shox Judy down the steps of Montmartre. Or rappelling from a rock face over white waters to a rocky shore.
Those stunts could have left me maimed. But of course I didn't believe that was going to happen to me; otherwise, I never would have done them. Truth be told, I knew that neither of them would last any longer than "the pause that refreshes", if you know what I mean.
But what I did could have taken away hours that I will never get back. You see, in the middle of reading those stacks of papers that seem to multiply no matter how much time I spend reading, I needed a diversion. I was going to go for a bike ride, but I might not have come back--or at least gotten back to the task at hand.
So, instead of a bike trip, I took a side trip on Google.
Hmm..So that's what Max does when I'm not home.
And he's famous. How did I not know?
And he dismounts even more gracefully than I do!
Please, don't tell me that Max and Marlee crashed the tandem:
I don't have a tandem. But I don't want them to crash anything?
When I fix stuff, Marlee feels the need to inspect:
She says she can't help because--get this--"I don't have opposable thumbs!"
Do all cats use that excuse?
Sometimes I think that if dogs try to please humans, cats try to be as much like humans as possible without actually being human. I am especially conscious of that when I'm leaving for work on a cold, wet, raw day and see Max and Marlee curled up on the couch.
Now tell me: Which is the more intelligent species?
