Birds of a Feather

I was at the bookstore today when I found that my book is shelved next to “Garfield Spills the Beans.” At first I was crestfallen, but after I browsed through the Garfield book for a few minutes, I had to admit that there were more than a few commonalities. Garfield’s book is about how lazy he is; so is mine. In his book, Garfield is plagued by overenthusiastic, uptight morons (Odie and Jon), and in my book, so am I (every coworker and boss I ever had). And finally, Garfield obsessively pursues a steaming, moist treat (lasagna), which he joylessly devours before moving onto the next pan. Always another pan! That’s my motto, too, Garfield. Always … another … pan. (Not talking about lasagna anymore, kiddos.)
