Amanda has been very tired recently. Gorthar has successfully learned how to sap the energy out of his host. Last night he was demanding vegetables. I suppose the pickles and ice cream will soon follow; but if he has inherited my expensive palate, Amanda’s cravings will likely consist of lobster, caviar, and coffee that is made from the coffee beans that are digested and pooped out by Indonesian cats.
On a more somber note, my wife and I are apparently on track to being “irresponsible,” since we would like to have three children. Jonathan Porritt, a chairman of the Optimum Population Trust and highly influential environmentalist in the United Kingdom, recently stated, “I think we will work our way towards a position that says that having more than two children is irresponsible.” He believes that government intervention is necessary to curb the population growth, and that abortion and contraception are the way to do that.
