Car Party

That's me behind Mum on the left. Hudson and Lily were in the backseat with me. We were totally partying back there, with three carseats, listening to Wease on CMF and singing along to Zeppelin. We were on our way to an apple orchard where we had donuts and cider and got to pet donkeys.

Holden Caulfield

What really knocks me out is a playground, when you're all done playing in it, you wished the architect that designed it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it.

Some Good Titles

These are some of my favorite books right now, and Dad likes them too. He likes them because they aren't all about the artist or the writer, they try to sneak in a little learning, and use repetition to establish character.

OK everybody- here's what's on my nightstand:

A Father Like That by Charlotte Zolotow (made Dad cry)

When Autumn Comes by Robert Maas (try to find the hidden Lowenbrau)

The Cowboy ABC by Chris Demarest

Froggy Rides a Bike by Jonathan London (he also writes nature themed books which rock- Sled Dog, Jackrabbit, Loon Lake, Sled Dogs Run)

Mouse Practice by Emily McCully (I have all of Monk's lines memorized)

The Adventures of Max and Pinky: Best Buds by Maxwell Eaton III

The Adventures of Bert by Raymond Briggs (when that sausage stars chasing Bert I just crack up)

and our current fave:

THE ABSENTMINDED FELLOW (FROM PORTOBELLO ROAD) by Samuel Marshak
