I've spent a lot of time recently watching my friend Sarah's sweet and goofy cat Charlie. Charlie is quite insistent that I keep the bird feeders filled for his critter-watching time. I love to listen to his excited "eck-ecks" when Kevin the squirrel or
Bill the blue jay visit the backyard.
Sometimes when you vent just a little, more comes out than you intend. So yeah, apparently I wasn't done talking about ways to irritate an editor (any editor).
A lot of my exercise is rolling my eyes. Partisan talking points are a huge source of that. As I posted recently on Facebook: "If y'all keep insisting on tying gas prices to the president, Keystone and everything else that shows you have no idea how gas prices actually work, I'm gonna have to insist that eye-rolling be counted as aerobic activity."
