I feel thwarted. Do you ever feel thwarted? I feel thwarted. So thwarted. Last week, I went to the marketplace merchants and tried to get them to make every Saturday a “Kearth is the Best, He’s Our Guest Day,” and they would give me food and more food (I like food) on that day each week—as much as I want. They chuckled and said, “Not gonna happen, Kearth.” My sincere efforts were thwarted. Yesterday, I went to the town council and...

Flibbertigibbet. That’s all I have to say, really. I think that’s all I have to say. How can I say anything else? Why would I say anything else? What else can I say? What else would I say? What else? I wonder. I can’t think of anything else to say. Nothing else. Nothing at all. Nothing. Well… Maybe one thing. Maybe just one thing. The thing is… I can’t think of anything else to say. There. I said it. I just went ahead and said it. So...

The other day someone said to me, “You can go bother…er…spend time with someone else for a while. That would be just great.” I take that as a compliment, because they meant I can both spend time with and do great things for someone. That’s what I think they meant.

Have you ever had a cold? I mean, really had a cold? Of course you have. Well, at least, you probably have. Most of us have, if not all. I think. I’m pretty sure of it. Yes. Who knows…you may even have one now. If so, so sorry to hear that. As I write this, I have a cold. An unpleasant, annoying, frustratingly rip-roaring cold. The fact of the matter is that I dot a toad and I’m all tuffed up (translation, if absolutely necessary: “I...

Let’s talk about cloaks. Yes, cloaks. You know, those long-and-dramatic-yet-epically-useful creations of heavy fabric. I’m here to tell you that cloaks are awesome. “Why so awesome?” you may ask. Go ahead and ask…I’ll wait. I’ve waited long enough. Let me just go ahead and tell you why. Cloaks are awesome because they are. Imagine this: You walk into a room. No, scratch that—you glide into a room. Your cloak billows behind you and you...

Do you ever find yourself thinking about how tired you are? I do. In fact, I think about it a lot. Maybe too much. In fact, I realized something the other day, and maybe you’ve realized it yourself: The more you think about being tired, the more tired you become.  In fact, I wholeheartedly believe that tiredness begets tiredness. (And I use the word “begets” because I just don’t get to use it often enough, plus it sounds like...
