A bit of wisdom from one of my favorite blogs, “The Comics Curmudgeon”:

…here’s a lesson for you childless types that I learned the hard way yesterday: if someone tells you an adorable anecdote about their toddler, and you counter with a very similar anecdote about your pet, the parent will not be pleased. Take my word for it.

Another truth: having a dashboard widget for making quick blog posts means I actually post. Today at least.
