Bloganuary ’23, Day 15: A Tribe Called MapQuest
THERE IS A NEW FERAL CAT OUTSIDE, presumably lured by the hey-sailor charms of Mama Hallie Ween.

Normally, I try to start my posts off with an unrelated mini-thought, a kind of cold open, but tonight I am without even the ghost of an idea, for mine was a busy day, filled with vet visits and exercise and voiceover work (about which I’m too excited to even pretend to #humblebrag) and, most…
