Dear Sir / Madam / Being / Entity,

Blessings on your household, for the Ancient Gods have spoken!

To be claimed by a cat is to have an Ancient God call you worthy.

Feed the feline well, provide warmth and curious human things, for the Ancient Gods are playful. Allow long naps and give good scritches, and all will be well.

Remember, ye are in the presence of the Ancient One. Some things cannot be explained.

Enjoy your days and live well.

Yours sincerely,

What Olympic sports do you enjoy watching the most?

The Olympics as a whole are incredible, and hats off to everyone on the planet who is able to qualify.

My faves in all this greatness are Gymnastics, Archery, and Track&Field:

Agility + Strength

Consistency + Precision

Speed + Skill

It’s amazing what human beings can do when given the time and resources to focus on sincere dedication. It’s a wonderful testament to the human spirit.
