It suddenly occurred to me that those 'pet rocks' from back in the Seventies have their modern day (inadvertent) equivalent: the computer mouse! Considering the amount of time spent with the mouse I realized, with a bit of a shock, that it does not have a name. The house has a name; the car has a name; the squirrels have names; the computers have all had names. Thing is, I am not sure of the gender of the mouse. Commodore .... PerCy .... Mac - the computers have all had guy names. Wonder if iRIS, PsyChe, MaMa were considered.
And what about an abode? A mouse pad sounds like something about to be launched or a bachelor sort of place. I'm thinking on this....
No problem with clothing the mouse. Something casual. A mousecoat? That would suit either gender as I have not yet settled on a name. Some masking tape, black shoe polish, a wax marking pencil resulted in this.
I know, I know - now it looks more like an owl. Well, if you look at it sideways ...
