My Name is Chai
You see, I’m a purebred seal point Siamese. Most of my story has been lost because I don’t speak Hooman, just Siamese. The mysteries of my early years were partially unraveled by yesterday’s x-rays of my mouth.

Blessings are Mine
Spotted towhees, bright bluebirds, and red robins entertain me from where I sit. It’s a good place to be, to reflect, and contemplate. On my December 16,… Read more “Blessings are Mine”
Corporate Wealth vs Americans’ Health
