Writing with Rox WEEKLY—Keep Calm and Love the Food Chain

Today a sweet old lady got into the elevator with me at Tria, all smiles. She leaned in closer to get a look at my T'shirt and said, "What does your shirt say? 'Keep Calm and'..."?

"Love Bunnies," I said, proudly puffing out my T-Shirt. I just love sweet old ladies, especially animal lovers. "My son—my 11-year old— gave it to me for my birthday. He just loves bunnies and has one of his own named Louie..."

"Well," she said, "we used to have a lot of cute little bunnies in our yard..."

"Oh yeah? Awww..." I pictured a little bunny circus, with happy kids dressed in pastels and bonnets  running through an apple green lawn.

"But now we have co-yotes and fox so no more bunnies."

"Oh," I said. "I suppose—hmmm."

"So that put an end to that. So long!"
