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.
