Breathe! Bother Fed-Ex, they are pains in the wherever. I prefer DHL, marginally less inefficient.
Glad to hear Peg II is behaving, even if Peg I is giving you nightmares. But you'll do it, I'm quite, quite sure!
(Edited because it didn't come out quite like I meant it to last time!)

Yay for Calvin & Hobbes!!! My husband and I thoroughly enjoy them. I will note, however, that they *used* to be only hilarious....now that we have kids they are hilarious and scarily realistic! Bill Cosby made the same transmogrification at the same time.

When our son got to be about 5, my husband wouldn't let him read Calvin and Hobbes, for fear that he would get ideas. As it was, he had plenty of his own....

Heh. My teenage son slowly built his collection of Calvin & Hobbes books through his school book club orders and now has a complete set. He's been reading them since he was 7. I must say, though, that he does NOT behave like Calvin - most of the time. He even volunteers to vacuum the house (!!) a couple of times each month. And helps me cook and bake.

Ok, I find that picture very funny....because my 8-yr-old daughter has been climbing our doorframes for a year or more, although she manages all on one edge of the door (instead of being across the middle). So, clearly, climbing doors is a logical and fun thing to do!

Robin, sorry about your crazy week. In addition to a great appreciation for Calvin, I obsessively reread Bloom County. I wish they hadn't quit but at least all of their stuff is grade A. (well, C&H is. I kept catching Berke Breathed redoing earlier panels in his later Sunday strip. Funny, but still - not as good the second time).
and to your publisher I must say - Don't rush me, sonny. You rush a Miracle Man, you get rotten miracles.
Best wishes for a harmonic convergence of time, space and technology - and mail trucks - for your next week. And good day to the hellhounds (why did I just want to type 'hellhogs')
and I hope they are feeling much better. Eating like hogs, even.

Yes, the way he got *up* there was by scooting up one side. It was always a hoot to watch.

I thoroughly enjoy that quotation on its own, as well as in its source!
|
I just have to agree.

Except that the bathtub was invented either by the Romans in BCE quack quack something
In fact, no. I cannot tell you who invented the bathtub, but the Romans were into public baths. The Carthaginians, on the other hand (from 650 BCE), had individual bathtubs, lined with pink waterproof cement, and with little plugholes (which one imagines were sealed with corks, or something similar). If you Google Kerkouane, which is one of the ancient Punic cities in Tunisia, you should find lots of pictures of pink bathtubs.
