Today’s Blog Gang topic is Fact or Fiction.

I thought I’d give you all a little quiz about me. Exciting, huh?

• I got a marriage proposal over the holidays. Fact or Fiction?

This one was just too odd, so I won’t keep you in suspense: It’s both.

Lemme esplain…

This incident prompted my post A Pigeon Named Spot in that as soon as I gave him his freedom, he bounded back by asking me if I would run off to Vegas and marry him. I said “yes, let’s go” and then he started backpedaling*. Whatever. He’s free to go, but wants to sit on the fence (this only makes sense if you read that post).

*Apparently he was only on a fishing expedition, wondering if I would marry him. Oh, then I change my answer.

Thought in my head: NEXT!
