From Strunk and White's. Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all sentences short, or avoid all detail and treat subjects only in outline, but that every word tell.

Ask Oscar: May 2014
http://askoscardog.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Send your questions for Oscar to oscarvt99@gmail.com. Monday, May 19, 2014. Why scam a dog? I do not understand humans. Case in point: I opened up my laptop this morning for the first time in months. Do I do most of my computing on a smartphone, you ask? I'm a dog, I don't have a phone! Do I use someone else's computer to take care of my web browsing, emailing, and other electronic needs, you wonder? Well, then, how can I bear to go months without logging on, you say? Your friend, Oscar. Oct 29 - 5 miles.

Ask Oscar: June 2013
http://askoscardog.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Send your questions for Oscar to oscarvt99@gmail.com. Thursday, June 27, 2013. Dear Oscar, I noticed you only ran 1.6 miles on June 26. That seems less than your usual distance. What gives? I hesitate to even discuss this. Because it's really no big deal. I mean, look at Patrice Bergeron, center for the Boston Bruins. He went to the hospital after Game 6 of the Stanley Cup final with a broken rib and punctured lung! And, yes, I'll be right back out there before you know it! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Send your questions for Oscar to oscarvt99@gmail.com. Thursday, February 7, 2013. Dear Oscar, Are you excited for the new baby? Kid Krazy in Kalamazoo. If it runs, bikes, eats, walks, talks, plays, or wrassles, I'll like it. Otherwise, I like just about everyone else too. So, yes, I'm excited. Can't wait to meet the little rascal, find out if it's a boy or a girl, and how it likes having big, wet noses shoved in its face. Especially the nose thing. Thanks for asking,.
