So…what exactly is the Monday Poll?
Great inquiry! It’s not, despite its title, an actual poll with clickable buttons. Instead, it’s a collection of more or less random inquiries I’ve been sharing on this blog each Monday morning for what feels like an eternity (since 2007).
1. What punctuation mark do you favor the most?
I have a significant fondness for the semicolon; my heart also adores an em dash.
2. Are you just as baffled as I am that 2026 is approaching?
No joke, how did an entire decade slip by since Connor was born? Time truly is a wild journey, man.
3. What sounds are you currently hearing?
Kids shrieking (with joy), Marnie Mae barking and pursuing the aforementioned children, along with the robotic noises of laser tag equipment.
4. Did any of your pets sabotage or damage your holiday décor?
Ugh, these two furry companions chose this year to wreak havoc. Rosie chewed on the ends of some pine branches. Marnie Mae took it upon herself to obliterate every ornament on the lower section of the tree.
5. A book that left a mark on you this year?
There were many, but one that stands out is a graphic novel Connor lent me called “Smile” by Raina Telgemeier. Growing up in the Bay Area during the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, the narrative resonates with that time period.
