Verlyn Klinkenborg hates losing things on his farm, but luckily his self-draining hydrant is working fine as of press time.

Verlyn Klinkenborg walks around his farm at night and concludes that it is hard for him to see in the dark because he is not nocturnal.

Tuesday, 11/9/10: "Seasonal Slippage"

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/09/opinion/09tue4.html?_r=1&ref=todayspaper

Wednesday, 10/27/10: "Moose and Squirrel"

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/27/opinion/27wed4.html?_r=1&th&emc=th

Verlyn Klinkenborg's reminiscience on Rocky and Bullwinkle ends very suddenly, almost in midsentence:

An entire generation got its first impression of our Soviet rivals from Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale. The two plotted and bickered and — reassuringly — were always thwarted.

Does Klinkenborg mean this as another allegory about his failed marriage? Or did he just forget to finish his column?

Cleverly couched in an extended, superficially inane description of horses, chickens, and hickory nuts is the news that Verlyn Klinkenborg has gotten divorced. :(

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/18/opinion/18sat4.html?_r=1
