"The notion that such persons are gay of heart and carefree is curiously untrue. They lead, as a matter of fact, an existence of jumpiness and apprehension. They sit on the edge of the chair of Literature. In the house of Life they have the feeling that they have never taken off their overcoats."
- James Thurber, My Life and Hard Times

A Post Script to Sunday's Entry


I ran across this photo of Simba, and Marcus, in their younger days. It was the year in which Marcus refused to sit for any picture without his constant, stuffed companion. The expression on his face reflects the pure joy of a 3-year old.



Yeah. We renewed his contract.

Marcus was an adorable three-year-old (and if I remember from earlier posts, he's a pretty handsome young man now).

Just read the rest of your previous post on the leaning Christmas tree. Fun post and fun photos -- but I'm still glad we no longer bother with a tree.
