Kenyon Kats: A TAIL of Love and Loss
Kenyon is home to a diverse population of cats, many of whom I consider to be good friends of mine. Moxie and I have been very close ever since I rescued her from a tree one snowy night last February. Talulah and I clicked instantly, because real recognizes real. Bam Bam has seen me cry more times than my own father. But however much I try, there are some cats I just haven’t gotten through to.

So there I was, sitting in an adirondack chair in front of Olin with friends at the start of September 2015 and I looked up Cla(i)re with every letter last name on Gmail and wrote a joke email. The rest is history. Continue reading
An Open Letter to the NCA Skunk
The skunk, probably.
Dear “Skunk”,
I’m not convinced you exist. One time, I thought you were outside Yoga and Meditation House, but you disappeared as soon as I blinked and I’m not sure you were ever really there. Another time, I thought I saw you trundling along behind Gund Commons at around 2 A.M. on a Sunday, but I was deliriously tired and ill and maybe you were just a waking fever dream.
