I never miss Saturday mornings with TV’s Earth Odyssey. My prep is crucial: 1) cushions fluffed, 2) piping hot French roast, and 3) my laptop. Laptop? Yep, now guns are loaded. — Animal TV shows are nothing new, but this show clutches me to my laptop like a homebody to a soap opera. Earth Odyssey not only feeds my enchantment of wild animals, but the narratives trigger a writing frenzy. (Forgive the parting subject matter — but it relates.)
