Get ready for my first official, non-introductory post on my “new” blog.  Prepare yourself for a topic that is both mind-blowing and profound:

Squirrels.

Yes, squirrels.  I’ve been seeing them around a lot lately.  I’m not sure if they are showing up in larger numbers these days, or if I’m just taking more notice of them.  Either way, they have taken hold of my attention enough to deserve a short and mostly unimpressive blog post.  After seeing another one of my furry friends walking down the sidewalk ahead of me this afternoon, I have come to (in my opinion) a remarkable conclusion:

I want to pet one.

I have grown up around squirrels my entire life and have never had that thought before, as well as I can recall.  But I do.  I want to pet one.

I mean, who wouldn’t?
