January is drawing to a close. The novelty of the New Year fades with each passing day. I look out the window and see typical weather for this time of year: cold, grey, drizzle. There are days in January it seems the sun never comes up and this appears to be one of them. The cold rain is less of a hassle than snow, but it’s still a better day for staying home and reading a book with my cats than heading out to work.
I remind myself better days are ahead. A month of winter is already gone and spring can’t be far behind!
All bundled up against the dank weather, I pause before leaving the house. Unfortunately, I notice the calendar hanging on the wall and the somber fact there are two months of winter to go! Oh well. What can I do?
My cats Quiet Rustle and Felix watch me get ready to go. And, as I look into their inscrutable feline eyes before turning to leave, I know what they were thinking:
You are making a terrible mistake!

Your cats are absolutely correct!
