Everyday People




We humans are funny a lot indeed.
We tend to talk about the highlights
of our lives, and generally pay no
nevermind to the day-to-day routine.

Boring, you may say, no one wants
to hear about the hum-drum activities
most folks experience on any given
day. We crave the unusual and unique.

Adventure and excitement is what we
seek. Tell me about your trip abroad,
your Everest climb to the world’s high-
est peak. I’ve got this friend who’s a

marine biologist. Now, she sure has got
some fascinating stories to tell. What
do you do for a living? Oh, an accoun-
tant, eh? That’s nice. Working with num-

bers has never been my strong suit. I
prefer more physical activities. Oh, me?
You want to know something about me?
Well starting out in the morning, I like

my coffee black and my eggs over easy.
By the way, did you happen to catch the
Chief’s game on TV the other day? C’mon,
man, you can do better than that.

What a way to live life, on the sidelines
and vicariously. Dogs and cats have no
need to emulate humanity. Comfortably,
they relish the regularity of their routine.
