Name that baby
Back to the drawing board. Aline gave me a very blunt NO. Pooh on her.
Name that baby
I’ve discovered the perfect name for our son. Gus. Short for nothing. Not Fergus. Not Angus. Not Augustus. Not Gustav. Though if the kid comes early and is born in August I might be swayed. I can’t wait to tell Aline . . .
Fratelli
Another birthday celebration found Aline, Janette and I at Fratelli’s Italian restaurant in the Glebe.
- Those Darned Squirrels
Old Man Fookwire is a grump who only likes to paint pictures of birds that visit his backyard. The problem is, they fly south every winter, leaving him sad and lonely. So he decides to get them to stay by putting up beautiful birdfeeders filled with seeds and berries. Unfortunately, the squirrels like the treats, too, and make a daring raid on the feeders. The conflict escalates-until the birds depart (as usual), and the squirrels come up with a plan that charms the old grump.My take: How can you not like a book where you get to say Googlie Mooglie, raise your fist and yell “Those darned squirrels”?
