Thoughts

I have/had a pet rabbit.  Well, technically it is not mine.  We got it for Isaac's birthday. 

Here's my question.  Rabbits?  Really?

A mouse or a rat scurries across the kitchen floor and chaos ensues.  People are up on chairs screaming. 

But you get a rodent that not only is about ten times bigger than a rat, has huge deformed supersonic ears, but, wait for it, also can jump up high enough to bite your face off (think monty python), and everyone stops screaming, climbs down from their chairs, and starts saying nonsense like:

"ooh you are a cute little bunny rabbit, aren't you, yes you are."

Maybe bigger really is better, I don't know.  But if so, might I introduce the 150 pound Capybara  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capybara)?  Because that thing is freaking adorable.

Aww! Right in front of my studio again. I'm telling you, next time you're there, come in and say Hi. I am currently out of town anyway...so I guess all is forgiven. But I'd love to meet you for real one day.

Hi Wendy! I was just browsing through some of your photos (because I do that when I want a little "pick-me-up", seriously!) and I had a thought. If you come to North Carolina again (hope!- wherever- we'll be there), can we do something a little like "channeling Andy Griffith"? Because I was watching a marathon of AG the other night- the color episodes from '65-'66 and it seemed to connect for me to your photos. So, I'll have 2 Opies instead of one, and I'll be "Helen". Maybe Wes will wear a vintage sheriff's uniform?? Ok, probably not. He could be Andy in a suit. Just a thought.
