So…what is the Monday Poll?
Great question! Despite its title, it’s not really a poll in the traditional sense, with little clicky buttons. It’s merely a collection of somewhat random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for what feels like forever (since 2007).
1. What’s your top punctuation mark?
I have a big affection for the semicolon; my heart is also fond of the em dash.
2. Are you just as taken aback as I am that it’s almost 2026?
Honestly, how has a whole decade flown by since I welcomed Connor into the world? Time is a wild journey, dude.
3. What sounds are you hearing at this very moment?
Kids shrieking (with joy), Marnie Mae barking and chasing those very kids, and the robotic noises from laser tag toys.
4. Did any of your pets wreak havoc on your holiday decorations?
Ugh, these two furballs chose this year to make a mess. Rosie chewed on the tips of some pine branches. Marnie Mae took it upon herself to wreck every ornament on the lower part of the tree.
5. A book that left a mark on you this year?
There were several, but one that stands out is a graphic novel Connor lent me titled “Smile” by Raina Telgemeier. Growing up in the Bay Area during the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, the story resonates with that period in my life.
