"Crows aren't commercial; ravens are trite. We've done surveys, and our researchers have determined that the fantasy animal of today is the wombat." - Carolyn Cushman, Witch & Wombat
I have a passion for wombats. I have a wombat collection that dates back some 20 years, to freshman year in college. Many of my email addresses & screen names reference wombats (terpsichorean & otherwise). And I have several sketches and a nice pen-and-ink of dancing wombats. Although none polka-ing in pairs.
(The artwork was done by a friend & fellow Japanese student. We determined, in our kanji-befuddled state, that the wombat was dancing because it gotten drunk--on champagne or sake, variously--and was chasing the M&Ms which it imagined were floating on the ceiling.*)
There's just something so...RIGHT...about dancing wombats.
Robin, you are just going to have to have another auction (after Pegasus II has gone to press, of course) so that I can add a McKinley wombat doodle to my collection!

*It was third-year Japanese. Yes, our brains had melted; and that was BEFORE we tried to explain to Hagiwara-sensei what a wombat is.^
^It is, in fact, easier to explain PEZ in Japanese than wombats.

I hope the goop in your throat goes away soon. No fun to start a phrase you know and have the voice cut out.

For me, hoarseness doesn't need viruses to make an appearance. Half an hour's steady talking, as to the dog in the car who thinks that he's going to die, will start producing a rasp. I hope your hoarseness is solely attributable to the mutant virus, and that once it packs its bags and moves on you will stop having a problem.
This is so typical. As I’m reading through the doodle orders Blogmom sends me I keep whinging, oh, I don’t know how to dooooooo that, why did they ask me to do thaaaaaaaaat? But someone says something daft on the forum and I’m all over it.
Do you suppose the Story Council has been organizing a Doodle Council while your back was turned?

OMG! I thought I was the only one who had that book. I love it!

So does Faramir, actually. And now I REALLY want Robin to open the doodle order form back up so I can get this doodle to frame for our living room.
(Amusingly, speaking of frames, I have finally (i.e. 10 minutes ago) gotten around to ordering a frame for my iceberg photo from the Columbia Glacier. It's only been 8 years...)
